Hi Joe, Thanks for letting me know that.., so do I kill X and uninstall the port, or something???? Silly question...., if its known to be broken, is it not possible to flag this port as such? I kinda recall encountering a couple of ports that have been flagged as "Forbidden" somewhere along the line.., Pretty sure if I'd seen this, I'd have not proceeded with the installation. Given this box has just been rebuilt., I'm weary of putting broken stuff on here.
