Re: Bad NIC Card ?

[Larry Bolhuis <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a firewall between the PC and your i? Especially if you use 
things from Management Central but some iNav stuff as well the i 
attempts to reach out (establish a connection) to the PC. If the PC is 
behind a firewall this will almost certainly fail.  There are other 
reasons why management central can cause this message as well.
