RE: MIDRANGE-L digest, Vol 1 #2806 - 14 msgs

Thanks for your help. I have determined that my external IP address (WAN
IP address) changed. Going into the LinkSYs configuration I saw for the
WAN IP address it was set to Obtain an IP Address Automatically and it
had a different IP address. I changed it back and specified to not
obtain my WAN IP address automatically. My programmer is now using
telnet to get in and everything is fine.

Thanks

Richard
