Okay, since noone else has asked, I feel I have to .. 'Why?' :) .. what else are you using this machine for? You could do some cool virtualization with it .. I guess I have that on my mind since I'm looking at Xen for a project here... probably using a similar spec'd machine to yours.

Gurcharan, ah, that's the LSUHSC (Louisiana State Univ. Health Science Center) - New Orleans site... not Monroe... I'll copy Doc Nguyen (that site's admin) on this and he can check his coordinates..

Sure, I got a copy of all his logs. I went through them last night but I couldn't find anything definite. I can also send the Venue server logs as well. On 7/19/07, Thomas D.

I should have said UL Monroe! (Sorry Adam) - somehow I think we're all LSU across the state. Gurcharan, what's the link? I don't see the one you're talking about. I do see UL-Monroe's new node listing (College of Pharmacy). Picture would be nice... In fact, Adam, you don't have yours listed at all there... -John Q. -- John I.

So this instance of the problem is resolved, but the reason for the problem is not. It would still be interesting to look at the logs to understand what went wrong. If you're able to collect them, it'd be a good bug to submit to bugzilla.

Thomas, interestingly enough, the problem with XP not showing VIC and RAT was fixed when I restart our VenueServer. For whatever reason that fixed it. On 7/18/07, Thomas D.
