Doesn't matter. Stan is shorter :-) Glad to hear that it is working now. My theory is that something had gotten messed up with your networking, perhaps a route issue. Most normal things, like variables being displayed would have still worked, but things that needed to get directly to other machines would have not. Still can't explain FoxSelect crashing your second FoxView instance. In any aces, glad it is working now. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stan Brown [mailto:stanb@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gunter, Matt > Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 11:32 AM > To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [foxboro] Rouge FoxSelect > > In answer to Stanley's (or is Stan preferred?) question, no I could not > rlogin or telnet to the WP.
