Let's do a little poll here to find out if it is specific to you or if this is a problem that everyone is having. Could we get people who use BK disconnected to stand up and be counted? Does this work for anyone? For James, could you do a little debugging please? Run the following when you are plugged in and it works and also when it doesn't: bk getuser bk getuser -r bk gethost bk gethost -r bk dotbk We'll track it down and fix it if it is a problem on our end. This stuff is supposed to work, we certainly haven't intentionally caused a problem. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com
