CWA hanging over FlexConnect

Wondering if anyone here has seen this before, it's got me scratching my head at present:
We have a working CWA implementation in a central site with APs in local mode, clients are redirected to ISE guest portal using MAB, can register & log in as expected.
For other sites that don't have local controllers we have APs configured for FlexConnect with central authentication, local switching, & VLAN support, which works fine for registered devices, but when a client atempts to use CWA the process hangs after the redirect to the guest portal (the portal screen never appears). I've created FlexConnect ACLs identical to the local ACLs as per CSCue68065, but that made no difference.
The ISE shows that the first MAB authentication completes successfully; in the client details on the WLC I see the correct redirect URL & ACL, but the client never reaches the ISE for the second authentication. (nothing on live authentications screen for second auth, client browser times out)
Any ideas appreciated, I'm running out.
WLC is 2504 running 7.4.100.60
ISE is 3315 running 1.1.2 patch 1
thanks

Kindly find the link for the security supported to Flex-connect with the WLC versions.

EJB transaction hanging over VPN connection

EJB transaction hanging over VPN connection
I am trying to diagnose a problem that only occurs when I am doing testing from home and connected via VPN to work.
We are using WL 10.3. Our clusters are setup to communicate via multicast. We have a stateless session bean that uses many different resources (Sybase DB, other EJBs, Sonic JMS). I have a local EJB on my home network that I am testing and it connects with other EJBs and resources on my corporate network. While I don't think it is related to the problem, there is a cluster of the same EJB I am trying to test deployed to my corporate environment. i.e. I am testing ResetService EJB and there is a deployed domain cluster of several ResetService EJBs in the environment I am connecting to. My local server and admin domain are named differently than the one deployed and my local ejb shouldn't try to connect to the cluster in the environment.
When I make a call into my local ejb everything seems to work as expected until it gets to the commit part of the transaction (after my ejb returns). At this point the executing thread hangs at the following location
"[STUCK] ExecuteThread: '16' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'" daemon prio=2 tid=0x2e8cb400 nid=0x22fc in Object.wait() [0x3031f000]

        at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:173)This thread is obviously waiting for a notification from some other thread but it is unclear what exactly it is waiting for. This only seems to happen when I am connected via VPN because when I try this same setup connected directly to my corporate network at work it works fine.
I connected w/ debugger and tried to dig. Some interesting observations I see are.
1) The ServerTransactionImpl object that is hanging has a 'preferredHost' of a different machine on my corporate network. It is an EJB that my service got some information from but it wasn't involved in any create, update, or delete aspects of the tran so in theory it shouldn't be part of it. Does anyone know what exactly this peferredHost attribute is signifying? I also see this same remote ejb server reference defined in a ServerCoordinatorDescriptor variable.
2) I also sometimes see other XA resources (JMS) with this ServerTransactionImpl that point to references of resources that live on other machines on my corporate network (not my local ejb). This doesn't always seem to be the case though.
VPN will definetly block multicast packets from the corporate env back to my machine. I don't think it works from my machine to the corporate env machines either.
I also have two IPs when connected over VPN. One for my local home network and one given to me by my VPN client. I have setup my local WL server to listen on the VPN client provided IP which the corporate machines should be able to resolve and send TCP message over.
This definetly seems to be transaction related because when I remove the tran support from my ejb things work as expected. The problem is I need to test within the transaction just like it runs in a deployed environment so this isn't really a fix.
My theory: My local test WL EJB is waiting for a communication from some other server before it can commit the tran. This communication is blocked due to my VPN connection. I just don't know what exactly it is trying to communicate and how to resolve if that is in fact the problem. I thought about looking into unicast rather than multicast for cluster communication but in my mind that doesn't come into play here because I am not deploying a local cluster for my EJB and I thought multicast was just used for inter-cluster communication.
I also saw some docs talking about resources need to be uniquely named when inter-domain communication is performed (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/jta.html#1120356).
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on?
Here is some log output from my local WL instance:

ADT hangs over ssh

I am putting the finishing touches on our build system and have run into a show stopper bug in ADT. It seems that ADT will not function propertly over ssh. When I issue my ADT package command remotely on my Mac OS X machine via ssh, ADT simply hangs forever.
The following are the errors I see on the Mac System Log:
com.apple.SecurityServer: Session 24524 created
naip: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
naip: _RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
And then nothing happens. Forever.
Looking on the remote system, I see that the ADT process has created 2 files and a directory in the output directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 build staff 68 Jun 8 13:10 adt3612439737122910737.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 build staff 11553 Jun 8 13:10 air6133709946041732094.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 build staff 11553 Jun 8 13:10 air8135951800351503639.tmp
However, nothing else happens. The directory adt3612439737122910737.tmp is empty.
The ADT package command I am running is:
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../build/input/air/cert.p12 -storepass mypassword -tsa none -target bundle ../build/output/tmp/StoicAssetCompiler.mac.app ../build/output/tmp/EngineCompiler-app.xml -C ../build/output/app app.engine.compiler.swf
The command works perfectly when I execute it from a terminal session as the build user. However, any ssh session causes the adt program to hang forever.
Short version: How do I invoke ADT over ssh on Mac OS X?

Additional point of information:
There are 2 users involved here:
john
build
john is logged into a desktop session. john can run ADT from a terminal, or even from a terminal ssh-d back to localhost as john.
build can run ADT from a terminal su'd to build. build cannot run ADT in any ssh session, including one ssh'd from the su'd terminal that works otherwise.

IMac in Win 7 hang over a year now with no solution

I was convince by a friend and bought an iMac 27# in the PC show in March 2010 and along with it.. the additoinal 2Gb RAM and then follow by the Apple Care protection.
It was the biggest IT purchase mistake ever!
As I couldn't manage the Apple mouse accelaration I need to instal Winodws.
I install win 7 using Boot Camp and then install Starcraft 2...
I was horrified by the crash and hang...
- White disorted frozen screens,
- iMac auto restarts..
- Daily.. 5 - 10times.. during the game..
after 2 months I stop using... and start my applecare journey and now reach 1 year..
now iMac sit as white elephant in the house... even apple doesn't really care much about it.
I was then surprised by the applecare..
- They bring you in circle..passing the bucket...
- Customer Relation to Snr tech, to Snr Advisor then back to Customer Relation and restarts.
- 4 out of 11 snr tech doesn't return call and doesn't really log dow case information properly.
- CR consistently **** customer with hardware test processes.. even if you do 11 times..
reformated over 5 times...send in to vendor claim the repair and on the same day less then 15mins.. hang... what's new over the 1 year period..
- 1 CR threaten to hang the phone if I don't redo the entire hardware and then she actually did hang it while I was explaining..
- 4 out of 11 CR remain uncontactable, and doesn't return call evening you leave voice mail.
Now I learn to obtain name of CR and Snr tech including Snr Advisor, anyway they will get away with bad services..as one of the CR mention they will not allow us to speak to thier manager.
It's a long message but coming to the forum seems to be my last restort ... maybe I still hope to see justice for me, on my time and money spent.
from a very disappointted customer.

Thanks for responding...I am currently really fustrated..
It wasn't mean to be personel in anyway which is why I'm not naming the Apple Staffs that are causing me these pain other then the product itself.
Over 11 calls, talk to at least 15 snr tech and not sure how many Support Advisor should be more then 15. maybe 2-4 Snr Advisor..
I wasn't expecting a performance for windows 7. at this stage I only was merely expecting iMac to work as it claims.
Not performing and cannot be use is total different thing..
Create using boot camp... well thank to Apple Care I have already did it 5 times...full reformat..clean install....
update to latest software Mac then Boot camp then install windows 7.. update it then install Starcraft 2.. start game.. and crash and crash and crash....
install Team Fortress 2... crash and crash and crash...
Install left 4 Dead 2... crash and crash and crash..
Clean install with no other software just Windows and the game above.. one by one..shows..
After Servicing from Apple changing the display card, on the day it was delivered back..guess what CRASH!!!!
I have a 3 year old Laptop, that I tested on Win 7 and install the games above reasonable performance but understandable... DOESN'T CRASH at all.... What does that tell you??
Just for curiousity I tested on my friends 2 year desktop PC and wa la..NO CRASH..
This is microsft problems, you say? It's clear.. iMac has issues... maybe that's why noone in AppleCare is willing to look seriously into this to solve this over the past 1 year, I just get push back.. a couple of swiping statement it's microsoft issues.. really you think so?
To curb my attitude, well have you paid AppleCare and have your support advisor hang up on you while you explain?
another one understand the whole thing as she say.. assigns a Snr Tech that doesn't call back???? I call to tha same Support Advisor over 5 times no pick up, left a voice mail .. doesn't return calls..
My assigned Snr Advisor ask me to install Win XP and test...believe a not???? Then pass me back to Support Advisor who then pass me to another Snr tech who claim we should move to the highest level Snr Advisor...
Try doing the circle 11 times.... bare inmind not forgoting the wait time..I waited 28mins for Snr Tech to come on the phone.
That's AppleCare protection.. as it says.. it certainly protects Apple.. but not thier consumers.
I agree iMac is reall nice package and features.. ONLY IF IT WORKS.

Continue script but hang in a speech

I'm trying to do a script for a campaign in UCCX 7.0.1_Build168, make calls with 'Place Call' phone numbers extracted from a. 'Xml', and when the call is received the delivery to a 'CSQ' to the receiving agent. While waiting for an agent is free, you hear a voice and if the customer hangs over the voiceover script is cut. Was there any solution to this problem that does not affect reports Historical Reports?
When I create a campaign "subsystem / Outbound" gets the call to the agent in the Cisco Agent, but does not sound the physical device. How I can do to ring the physical device?
thanks

Where does FCP store the voice-overs/narration clips?

Just did a 'my bad'.
Just left the distant remote location where I've been editing a film for three months. Used the voice-over function on FCP extensively. But, ooops, forgot to go find the subsequent files in whatever folder FCP stores them in, and transfer them to the drive I'm now traveling with (that supposedly should have the whole film on it).
I wonder if someone could steer me to where FCP automatically stores it's voice-over files once recorded?
Would be much appreciated,
Ben

Thank you Studio X and Nick,
Duh. And silly of me not to soooo carefully go through the Capture Scratch before leaving that little island in the North Atlantic.
Now I have to remind myself how to access a computer remotely, get someone to turn on the beast parked in a beautiful little white church hanging over the North Atlantic ... with a hundred wild caribou in the meadow behind, I kid you not, every day. I could stand there and watch them from 30 feet away for hours. Cool caribou.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Menus switching, hanging sounds etc.

I think my poor mac has been infected with a malware of some kind.
When I click the apple icon in the top left, the menus start moving to the right untill it reaches the end, then starts over. It is impossible to click the choice I want. When I click the desktop, it selects the first icon, if i click several times, it just select the same icon again.
Sometimes it makes a sound like a cd hanging, over and over again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for all the help I may get:-)

Haha, I found the reason.
I have a Apple Bluetoth Keyboard, this is connected to my iPad. When i turn the bluetoth off at the iPad, the keyboard is searching for other devices to connect to. It was earlyer connected to my mac, an therfor it always connect. When the keyboard lies in a bag and maybe some of the keys are pressed it makes the mac look like it's having a virus of some kind.
The solution is to remove the keyboard completely from the bluetoth devices.

Hangs every time i click

For weeks now every time i type or click, Ffox hangs for a second or 2 and will briefly say (Not Responding) on top. this is beginning to frustrate me beyond words b/c i can't type an email w/o it hanging over a 100 times!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== few months ago

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].

Neighbor's service line over my garage?

I have a neighbor who moved in about four months ago.
Shortly after their move, I noticed a black cable line hanging over my garage door. I tracked one end of that cable to an underground hub next to my property, and the other end going to the neighbor's house.
1. I called Verizon support to inform them that there is a service line hanging over my property. The rep told me that it will be fixed in 2-3 days
2. About a week later, I saw a field technician from Verizon working around the underground hub. Per my conversation with him, there is a pipe underground (beneath my driveway) where they can put the line through. It should be fixed in couple days. Then, he left
3. A month later, I called the support line and had a ticket created to have this fixed for good. I spent about an hour since the service is not on my account, and the rep. kept on asking for number associated with the neighbor's account. I provided a mail address of their house.
4. Another month passed by and the line still hangs over my garage. I called the support line again, and to found out that the ticket was closed. The rep. told me that he will re-open the ticket, and it will be fixed in 2-3 days.
5. Now, I called the support line today, and spent another hour on Chat Support, which yielded no result. Then, spent another 20 minutes on the phone, where I found out the ticket was once again closed. The rep did though provide some explanation why it was closed. Then, opened up another ticket and promised that it will be fixed in 24-48 hours.
At the beginning of this, I did talk to my neighbor lady and explained the situation. She said she will relay this message to her husband. I guess they do not care since they are getting their service without any problem.
I am disappointed that I have that such new neighbor, and had spent last three months to have this fixed in such incapable hands of Verizon support lines. What a mess!

Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you.Please go to your profile page for the forum, and look in the middle, right at the top where you will find an area titled "My Support Cases". You can reach your profile page by clicking on your name beside your post, or at the top left of this page underneath the title of the board.
Under “My Support Cases” you will find a link to the private board where you and the agent may exchange information. This should be checked on a frequent basis as the agent may be waiting for information from you before they can proceed with any actions. To ensure you know when they have responded to you, at the top of your support case there is a drop down menu for support case options. Open that and choose "subscribe".

WRT160NL hangs every other day

Doing a google search, and searching this forum, apparently every other day hangs are not that unusual for Linksys products.
In any case, repeated hangs have been a problem since I installed my WRT160NL about 3 weeks ago. I'm trying to decide if I should just return it to the store, or keep futzing with it.
I have already reset the router and reconfigured it - made no difrerence. I'm running Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B15, which isn't the latest - an upgrade is the final thing to try. I have tracked the hangs over the last 7 days, and found the unusual pattern of a hang every 2 days, about 36-48 hours apart. This must mean something, but I can't figure out what.
MY QUESTION... Apparently the log on this router completely disapears every time its booted - it might help if there was some way to see if there is a common event before the hang. Any suggestions of how to preserve the log?
Any other suggestions welcome. Chat support really doesn't know that much about this product - so far that has proven a waste of time.
thnx,

Try to reflash the router's firmware and reconfigure it....
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Can't get my mini dvi to video adapter to work with my tv

Ok so I bought a mini dvi to video adapter to hook my imac up to my tv, and I when I go to detect displays all it does is flash white for a split second, and then doesn't work
any suggestions?

OK... so I figured it out. Firstly, the RCA cable I was using was faulty. Secondly, I think the adapter I bought is also faulty. I found that it only works when it is hanging down from the computer... as in the computer is sitting on the edge of, say, a desk, and the the cable hangs over the side. If I move the cable upwards, it stops working. So, I'm going to call an Apple store and see if this is most likely the problem, and I'll probably exchange it.
Thanks again,
Zeb

Newbie moving from Tracktion, trying to adjust tempo...

(also a former Cubase user)
i'm excited to enjoy the stability of Logic, Tracktion has become to sketchy and crashy recently...
BUT in tracktion it is incredibly easy to change the tempo of a project to match the length of a drum loop...
just click on the audio clip and go to the "adjust tempo" button... then it gives you a choice, 1 bar 2 bars etc....
i tried this in Logic, not so easy...the project is defaulted to 120 bpm, as a test i imported a non-apple loop (that i know is 84 bpm, labeled as such), placed it at Bar 1, set the green cycle bar to 1 measure (using "snap to bar" from Bar 1 to Bar 2), i used "Tempo>Adjust using region and locators", selected "globally", but the resulting tempo was incorrect... it was 85.5... when i copy and paste the clip, it would not loop properly, sounded "rushed" because the tempo is too fast.... i can also see that the end of the clip is hanging over past the beginning of Bar 2.
the strange thing is, when i hit the "cycle" button in the transport bar, and hit playback, the audio clip looped properly!... but not when i copy & pasted it.
also, i cannot get the key command for "Set cycle to region length" to work (control-comma, i believe)... i get a the Mac "boink" error sound...
help is much appreciated, thanks..
josh

thanks for the quick reply!
yes, that is exactly what i did... but the tempo was set incorrectly... it should have been 84, but was set by Logic at 85.5, and i could immediately see that the region was still "hanging over" the bar where it should have stopped....
by selecting a region (loop), i'm assuming that i simply click on it so the little bar/frame on the actual clip turns black? or is there some other way to select it?

Help me I'm in a tough situation, is there a technical solution?

Apple have previously disapproved my previous version of this issue because I was not clear about my questions, so I have chosen to rephrase them. Despite this "misunderstanding" I was actually asking for technical help and instead got deleted. Please actually read this instead of just reporting it! I do actually have an issue here and I do want help and I feel that I was right to post it here. I don't personally agree that I didn't meet the criteria. But I am trying believe it or not! If you don't want to answer this topic, just move on. Let someone else help me, instead of reporting it, because it's all too hard or seems all too obvious to you what the answers are or you feel it doesn't meet criteria. Some of us don't have all the answers, not even all the obvious ones. My original version was not written in haste or anger, nor did I blame Apple, I also spent time to edit it to structure the situation clearly. I explained my background situation clearly to show my issue was serious and to show how it all fits together. Otherwise the questions just seem lame and pointless. After all I doubt many will be in this same situation which leaves me no where.
Question 1. I already asked this, Can I removed the Apple default apps? I thought I might not be seeing how since there are many hidden features on the iPhone.
Answer 1. Apparently not.
Question 2. Can I control the way apps access the data network? I can't find a way to prevent apps from using it or switching to it when my WI-FI drops momentarily.
Question 3. Is it possible for the mobile provider to turn my data network off while leaving the cellular network active?
Question 4. I'm trapped in a tough spot, is there something "technical" I can do, that I haven't mentioned bellow? There must be something to elevate the situation.
For your information only I have posted the original account I made unedited bellow. I did initial two phrases to G.B. to reduce filtering on Apples forum. I add this here because it explains my situation clearly (or so it seems to me). Please don't take offence that I have added it. Choose to not read it if you will, but don't judge me for adding it. But by reading it I think my questions might look less random or silly:
* Start Background Information *
I have wound up getting an iPhone contract that has me living in a data roaming area for my mobile provider. This is partly due to insufficient knowledge, lack of education in the matter and partly due to the nature of all services in the remote Australian town I live in. The reason I went with this provider in the first place was due to the limited services I could access that had signal in my home and finance. Incidentally all three of them sell iPhones. The first one's cheapest deal is $100 a month for the contract with a lousy deal. The second has intermittent signal in our home, I may have gone with one of their plans if not for the poor signal. The third, which I went with, a fairly good deal for the cash and the cellular coverage perfect all over the property. I have since found out their roaming data network, which I live in is contracted to the first option which own the monopoly and hence the ridiculous mb charges. Occasionally it connects to the second option, but I get the feeling they are also subcontracting off the first! Anyway...
So I live in a roaming data area, It's not international roaming so the phone won't protect me from the excessive mb charges. I started out only using general apps when in WI-FI but found intermittent drop outs which I never noticed happen was causing excessive charges. I have since noticed the signal bars for the WI-FI not change but a spinner indicator ,all very easy to miss. I contacted the network and they refuse to turn off my data network; despite a tech telling me it can be done. So until Apple come to the rescue and put in a feature like the no roaming feature that works for all mobile data connections, that are not the ones belonging to the service provider, I'm stuck turning the phone to aeroplane mode before using any app I don't completely trust. I can see Apples difficulty here, but I would settle for turning all data network off, just leaving the cellular network and WI-FI active. As things are I have to turn phone over to aeroplane mode, then turn WI-FI on then use app, then remember to turn the phone back on when finished. Sometimes I forget for a couple of hours. But I trust some apps or sometimes forget to turn the mobile off. Contacts app got me the yesterday; I was at the post office where I looked up an address and accidentally tapped the address on the card and the maps app loaded up. This is followed by mad stumble to close it before it uses data. So easy to do, also happened using the iPod in the car a few days back. While selecting a pod cast I accidentally clicked "Get more episodes…" and safari loaded, Panic!!! Also what makes it worse, is that I can't remove or hide some apps provided by Apple, like Maps, for example, to reduce the risk of accidental tap. Feel very vulnerable! There is also a risk of forgetting to switch the phone to aeroplane mode when I let a friend checkout the phone or just play one of my games.
So Apple, what are my options? Shelve the phone by leaving phone permanently off turning it into an iPod touch and keep paying through the nose for 2 years? Or G.B. so I can make some changes that would help, I read there is a solution to this issue for G.B. phones, (I'm not sure what impact that would have on my service). But frankly neither of these options I want to follow! I feel trapped!
Also there is nothing disclosing to me what apps have access to what data port. I would feel better if I could see a true list of what each app has access to. Not just on the phone but also on the app store, information detected and provided by hardware and not submitted by the programmer. No offence to all you GOOD programmers out there, but there are many that can't be trusted. An example of my need for this disclosure, does Remote (apple's iTunes remote) access the data network or just the WI-FI? Of course I would ASUME it only accesses the WI-FI. But reading the support page and description for it left me unsure, and it's this unsure feeling that scares me with this whole situation hanging over me. The home pages and the apps themselves are like a mine field to me. Another simple question reflecting this. Does the weather app regularly check for forecast data, or does it only do it when I open the app? What if I mistakenly click it while my data network is active? Sounds harmless doesn't it? But to me a mistake like that adds around $5 to my bill which is already pushing my budget. It would also be useful to be able to control each apps access privileges independently; but I would settle for a simple setting that has them all prompt me for access to the data network instead of just switching to it when there is a short WI-FI dropout.
I love the iPhone but I'm starting to feel I chose the wrong product. It has too many fluent network features (imagine saying that!) and it makes too many assumptions about my situation, most of which are wrong. The iPhone is the wrong product for someone who lives where I live and doesn't have basement full of gold! But I am stuck with this contract, what are my options?
Your's sincerely, life long Apple supporter…

Question 1. I already asked this, Can I removed the Apple default apps?
No. But you can turn off automatic syncing and Push email and set the phone to retrieve mail manually.
Question 2. Can I control the way apps access the data network?
Sort of. Turn on Airplane mode which will disable the cellular modem then turn on WiFi only. With Airplane mode ON and WiFi ON, your phone will only connect to the internet using an available WiFi connection.
I can't find a way to prevent apps from using it or switching to it when my WI-FI drops momentarily.
Apps do not run in the background so they only way an app can attempt to connect is if you have it running. If you do not run the app, it cannot run up your bill. For Apps that have "background" notification, you can turn that option off in the settings for each of those apps.
Question 3. Is it possible for the mobile provider to turn my data network off while leaving the cellular network active?
That is up to your provider. Call them. Go into Settings, General, Network, and turn OFF Data Roaming.
Question 4. I'm trapped in a tough spot, is there something "technical" I can do, that I haven't mentioned bellow? There must be something to elevate the situation.
In the US, you can return the phone within thirty days and void the contract. If you do not have that option, or if you are past thirty days, you can pay the ETF (Early Termination Fee) and void the contract.
I live in a very rural area in the US and I have used all of the techniques listed above at different times. I hope this helps; I "get it" that a huge Surprise! data roaming bill at the end of the month can be upsetting. Try the stuff I listed above and if none of that works, paying the ETF might be cheaper than paying Surprise! bills every month.
Hope this was helpful.
