Hi,  
today I was working at my Ignition project when suddenly, after trying to save the project to gateway, I got the followin error box:

I could ping the station running the gateway, so my Ethernet connection was safe.  
Only way out of the problem, was to close/reopen the designer.

Any suggestion?
