[WDS] disconnected! constantly appear on windows 8

One of our team member’s system is win8, when he run webpack-dev-server everything seems worked. But every few seconds a [WDS] disconnected! error shows in console and page then refresh.

In the meantime, this issue don’t appear on win7.

I had tried ways mentioned in #326, still can’t solve the problem.

Here is our webpack.config.js

var webpack = require("webpack");
var path = require("path");
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

var config = {
    entry: {
        "vendor1": ["react", "react-dom", "react-router", "react-router-redux", "react-redux", "redux"],
        "vendor2": ["crypto-js", "fastclick"],
        "app": "./js/index.js"
    },

    output: {
        path: './build/',
        filename: 'js/[name].js',
        publicPath: '/build/',
        chunkFilename: "js/[id].bundle.js"
    },

    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/, 
                include: [
                    path.resolve(__dirname, "js")
                ],
                exclude: [
                    path.resolve(__dirname, "build"),
                    path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules")
                ],
                loader: 'babel-loader',
                query: {
                    presets: ['es2015', 'react'],
                    plugins: ['transform-object-assign']
                }
            },

            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                loaders: ["style", "css?-minimize"]
            },

            {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
        loader: 'url?limit=512&&name=[path][name].[ext]?[hash]'
      }
        ]
    },

    plugins: [
        new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
            names: ["vendor2","vendor1"],
          minChunks: Infinity
        })
    ],

    resolve: {
        modulesDirectories: [
      'node_modules'
    ]
    }
};
module.exports = config;

@MoeSattler and @superddr, are you using the dev-server via CLI?

Note that in dev-server 2.0 beta, the CLI enables inline mode by default. So if you’re manually including the webpack-dev-server/client module, the module is loaded two times. Either use the cli with --no-inline, or remove the module from your entry.

The pull which fixed this issue originally shouldn’t fail for even longer server delays, and running my test case with updated versions doesn’t fail (in linux). I don’t have immediate access to Windows or a Mac to test on right now.

@ocollins @Sozialarchiv @goodmorninggoaway We need a testcase which fails to diagnose the issue. Feel free to fork from my repo for the test (you will need to update the versions).

Versions I tested with:

webpack-dev-server: "2.7.1",
webpack: "3.5.3",
Firefox: "54.0",
Xubuntu: "16.10"
