I can get “connecting” if the target system is in a mode that does not accept new connections. This has happened when I was running a bulletin where the script got interrupted and never put things back in the normal mode. 73 Ken From: Mike Lussier [mailto:mike.lussier@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2015 12:11 PM To: ALL STAR Subject: [App_rpt-users] 2 nodes setup to auto connect don't seem to work Good afternoon all, I have two nodes on my internal network. both on the same subnet. for the past 16 hours if I look at either node that show state as "Connecting" and not connected . Any thoughts ? I tried it once from one node running a script and before I went to bed last night I tried it from the other side.
