Re: Re: xAP Stopped Working

Hi Kevin,

Point taken about the hub.. using the new one now and have written a
script to make sure it loads before Homeseer and Redrat.

I've only got one network adapter in the PC and a look in network
connections confirm this.

A viewer running on a different PC sees xAP messages from the 2K3 PC !
But interesting enough, no messages from the Hub.. at least nothing on
port 3639!

Very strange as this is the new hub running.
