I also downloaded the CLI util from the 3ware site, and after a bit or experimenting with it, I have that working fine as well. As for the 3dm util, when attempting to install from ports, this is what I get: ===> 3dm-1.10.0.011_1,1 This port is obsolete and should not be used. Please visit the 3ware website (www.3ware.com) for a newer version of the 3dm utility. Well, I downloaded the latest 3dm util, but am unsuccessful it getting it to work. It launches without errors, but when attempting to connect to it's web interface, nothing happens. Telnet'ing directly to it's port (888 by default) and sending it a GET request produces no output, so I am assuming that it is not compatible with the 5.3 twe driver, although the CLI interface is. Anybody been able to get the 3dm2 web interface, downloaded from 3ware.com, working with the twe driver that comes with 5.3-RELEASE? Thanks, Justin
