Draytek Vigor 2750n Connection Issues

Guys,
After searching the forums I chose to purchase a Draytek 2750n from BB for a replacement for my BT Infinity kit, however for the life of me I cant get the Draytek to connect to Infinity; I've followed the below guide and have had no luck;
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb/kb_vigor_v2750_setup.html
I've tried all username conventions, my BT Yahoo email and password, [email protected], with a "space" as a password, [email protected] with a "space" as a password with no luck.  I can see the initial VDSL2 sync and with a profile of 17a however the Draytek constantly shows Idle > Handshake > Training.
I did notice that the Draytek time was set to 1970!! could this be the issue?
Infinity was recently placed live in my area with one of the smaller slimline cabs, is there anyway that the cab can only be accepting connections from the Openreach Modem? Can any BT forum guys advise?
Can anyone share any experiences they've had, I'm at a loss and dont want to return the modem
Cheers,

The details are the same as page 19 of the BT Infinity user guide and troubleshooting booklet.
One always gives way to one's elders and betters! :
Belt and braces you have two options here both of which are known to work so if at first you don't succeed - try the other one!
err!!! 3 options......go back to the OR Modem and HH

  • Just setup new Draytek vigor 2750N...... + resetti...

    HI all
    i mentioned on another thread http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/New-draytek-sync/td-p/517941/page/2
    that i was getting a  Draytek vigor 2750N. I got it from ebay for about £100.
    As it was used off ebay i took some advise and factory reset it 1st.  was quite easy to setup. and is now up and running.  just a couple of Qs
    username/password  should this be my @btinternet.com email address /password   or home@bthomehub thiny (cant remember it exactly) and leave p/w blank? 
    also on the stats page is there somewhere that tell me what each is   e.g 1Day CV, Total FEC etc.?
    next question is simple but bit lengthy..
    As as previously mentioned in another thread.  after having a few engineer visits and disconnections on my line, my profile dropped from btspeedchecker ( was about 32mb)  dropped down to a low of about 27ish.  
    Now i have read mixed advise about if people should actually disconnect (reboot) the modem(and ot routers) to give the line profile a kick/push  or just to leave it to naturally increase (with DLM).. as some warn that it may reduce it even more so with the disconnections. (as DLM thinking line is unstable and lowers speed accordingly)
    From my finding i found that...   if i did keep disconnecting the BT OR modem that it would keep dropping the line profile by a meg or so each time..  however what i did was after a reset and seeing it drop i  kept downloading large files (50gb - 100gb) at a time at full speed  to show the line was capable to handing downloads at the max speed) i did this for a day or two   however the profile wouldnt "naturally increase" after doing another btspeedcheck.   so after a day or so of heavy downloading  i would then give the modem a quick blip (usually at off peak times like  late night or v eary morning   this did actually raise the profile.. 
    and kept following the same process.upto  2 nights ago i was working late till about 2am  profile was at 31.51mb so rebooted modem (had to wait an hour for another test) and it increased to  33.62mb (highest i seen since 1st of may from when i had work done)  which its been at since now  (installing draytek)
    now i installed the draytek 2pm today.  line profile decreased to 32.77  was disconnected for about 5 mins as had to input settings etc.  so im hoping after a day or 2 of downloading again this will raise up..  
    However with the draytek router/modem  will i need to give the unit a reboot to see the profile increase(or decrease)   like the BT OR modem or will this naturally increase(or decrease) itself??
    if someone can tell me how i will paste a image of my stats from the draytek so you can take a look and see what you think??
    thanks

    If you use the power on/of switch you will lose your settings.
    The best way is in the admin section,as that has a choice of a factory reset or a warm reset.
    If you do any resets though it is a good idea to save your settings first from the admin section.
    Another good move if you have not done it is to change the PW [system PW] in the admin section as all drayteks use admin/admin,you need to use admin/xxxxxx,but don`t forget the new PW or you will not get in.
    But personally I think that a reboot will only make your profile worse as with the draytek you are rebooting the modem and the router sections.If you leave it on it should get stable again,but the choice is yours.

  • BT Infinity - DrayTek Vigor 2820 - Connection Drop...

    Hi everyone,
    We're having a few issues with BT Infinity when using a DrayTek Vigor 2820.
    We stopped using the official BT Fibre modem when we started having endless port forwarding issues (which I don't really want to go in to here.. it's a a long story!)
    We did some reviews, and ended up purchasing a new DrayTek Vigor 2820 Fibre modem router. It's connected to the BT fibre modem, and then into WAN2 of our DrayTek router. 
    We seem to be getting random drops in connection, sometimes the cable modem drops which results in a log at BT's end showing the connection disconnect. Usually, the connection doesn't drop, it just appears to time out for around 2-5 seconds. If you're downloading, it cuts the download - so is quite annoying!
    I've looked into the logs on the DrayTek which don't tell show that much - lines of interest are below.
    Any ideas anyone could suggest would be most appreciated!

    Hi ninjaandy, I don't understand this,
    "We stopped using the official BT Fibre modem when we started having endless port forwarding issues (which I don't really want to go in to here.. it's a a long story!)
    We did some reviews, and ended up purchasing a new DrayTek Vigor 2820 Fibre modem router. It's connected to the BT fibre modem, and then into WAN2 of our DrayTek router."
    You say you stopped using the BT fibre modem in para 1 and then you say you connected the new 2820 to the BT fibre modem?? Why not just connect your line that went to the BT modem directly to your 2820?
    I also have a Draytek 2820n (not the fibre version) and I connect the ethernet cable from the BT modem to the lan2 port on the Draytek and have had no problems. Hope this helps.

  • Draytek vigor 2750 - connection seems to hold now...

    so i posted last week about the draytek 2750n that kept disconnecting  over the weekend i pluged in the HH3 / OR modem as i was away so my line could hold steady and raise the IP profile..
    wed morning and draytek support emailed me back regarding the issue  asking for some screen shots  so i plugged the draytek back in and sent the screen shots and decided to leave it plugged in.
    its now been connected for 18 hours and no drop  so im gonna leave it and see how it performs..
    here a screen shot of line stats..  can someone explain to me the SNR and how it works and how my line looks. 
    and maybe explain some of the other "relevant " stats and what they mean

    Thanks again ironman.
    Initially, I was on 1.5.3 as I had been previously (maybe 3-4 months) but no luck. Reverted to 1.5.2 which I'd used for about a year. No luck. Even tried the beta of 1.5.2 which I still had. Nope
    Sync'd up the time using the browser. Nothing. During the all too brief connections the time also syncs with the nntp server (see the log above). Again, inevitable termination regardless.
    Have tried using the config file I saved before I updated to 1.5.3. Have tried resetting to factory defaults.
    All to no avail.
    I can't help but think its something purely on the BT end. Everything is right on my side, everything has worked before now. But suddenly I can't stay connected.

  • Draytek Vigor 120 - PPPoA / PPPoE Settings - MTU a...

    Hi there,
    I currently use a Home Hub but am trying to set up a Draytek Vigor 3300 connected to a Draytek Vigor 120 ADSL Modem.
    The settings I took from the Homehub have the username [email protected] with no password.
    When I plugin my Vigor Modem out of the box it connects fine to the line in that it finds out the speed details and the ADSL light is illuminated. The issue seems to be when I plug it into the Vigor 3300 and use the PPPoE part.
    I can't put in a blank password so I tried [email protected] with a SPACE for a password. I left the MTU as default and the mechanism as PAP.
    For some reason it doesn't connect.
    What details should I put in, does the password matter, does BT use PAP or CHAP and what MTU.
    M

    Hm! well the user name is the same as the HH [email protected] and the password is blank, if it insists on a password then use password but it shouldn't.
    Can't say if pap or chap as my old vigor didnt give an option, if you have an option then try them in turn....leave the mtu.
    Dont know if this is any good... http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor100_setup.html
    Now according to the spec the modem does ppoa/ppoe bridging, which implies this is automatic...as most adsl uses ppoa.

  • Wireless drop outs: draytek vigor 2600: macbook pro: channel 6

    Hi all
    Thought I'd drop this is, as it may help others??
    I've been having real problems with unstable wireless drop outs, it's been driving me barmy!
    I've been using a draytek vigor 2600 plus, when connected via ethernet, it's brilliant, use wireless and it *****, with drop outs every minute or so, and when it does connect the strength is shocking even though my router is above me, about 6 foot!
    I used www.istumbler.net/ and found that my next door neighbour has his router on channel 6... same as mine, since this I've changed to channel 12 and now signal strength is full (on the airport logo) and haven't had a drop out for hours...
    I'll post again if the status changes, but give it a try if you are having problems similar...
    hope this helps.
    Az

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • Question about Draytek Vigor 2850vn max sync

    Hi all, Accidentally lost the first message I had finished typing, didn't post successfully. Anyway, Infinity is near (one of those new green fibre cab's just appeared next to the PCP I should be connected to) and I wanted to ask if anyone knew whether the Draytek Vigor 2850vn is limited to 50mbit sync on VDSL/Infinity? Some places I found on Google mentioned that but I am uncertain if it's true. If it's not true then I'll be ordering it on dabs hopefully before the cut-off time, as I can use it to temporarily replace my Draytek Vigor 2820 router and use it on ADSL until Infinity is ready for my postcode. Many thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not sure if this helps but I emailed Draytek a while back about this - they replied Jan 19th so things may have changed:
    "I am thinking of replacing the modem supplied with my BT Infinity connection and was wondering whether the 2850n/vn would be suitable.
    In the description you state that "The Vigor 2850 is a variant of our Vigor 2830 series with the addition of a built-in interface which supports both ADSL/ADSL2+ and also VDSL lines (such as the BT Infinity™ service) for connectivity up to 50Mb/s"
    My question is about the "connectivity up to 50Mb/s" part. Currently BT infinity is an "up to 40Mb/s" connection but there will soon be an upgrade to "up to 80Mb/s".
    Would the 2850n be able to support this speed or is 50Mb/s the maximum it will support? In fact what is the maximum VDSL speed that the 2850n and 2750n support?"
    The reply was:
    "Both the 2750 and 2850 support these VDSL profiles: 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, 17a, 30a 
    The units can connect at high speed profiles however it just hasn't been tested
    on those. The actual internal maximum possible rating does exceed 50Mb/s
    but right now we're using a conservative official maximum speed."
    I didn't buy one in the end!

  • How do i configure the usb port on a draytek vigor 2820n router for use with my imac

    i have an imac connected to the internet through a draytek vigor 2820n router. this router has a USB port with a HP Deskjet 5560 printer attached (for use as a network printer for other machines on the network). How do I configure this printer on the iMAC?

    I checked on the HP web site. Your aswer is on the HP website under your printer type. Update your drivers and follow the instructions given by HP and the printer will work as you have it connected.
    Good Luck

  • DrayTek Vigor 120 + Airport Extreme Base Station?  I have queries.

    Ok, so my 3 or 4 year old USR 9108 router went down today-- again. I'm fed up and want a new one. It dies on me once or twice a month. It has decided it doesn't like my powerline adapters lately. and I'm fed right up. I run an internet radio station and what I need is stability.
    At the moment, I'm thinking of setting up a DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL modem (modem-only) with the Airport Extreme Base Station for my router. (I already have an Express on my network.)
    First of all, can anyone please comment on whether they have this set-up and whether it's solid? I've heard good things about both of these devices, and I need something that's not going to flake out as regularly as my USR has been doing of late. Rock solid is a good thing for a 24/7 stream.
    Second, can I just confirm a few questions that I think I know the answer to, but want to be sure before shelling out?
    I am in the UK using an ISP that uses PPPoA; so I need to be sure the modem has a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge in order for the Airport to talk to the outside world. (Right?). I gather the DrayTek will do this. Will it therefore be just a question of setting the Airport to connect via PPPoE and then entering my ISP login settings in Airport Utility?
    I need a setup ideally that, like the USR, will allow me to assign IP addresses manually to some machines or devices on my network but allow DHCP on other things (like my iPhone). It's particularly important that the radio stream should have a static IP. I gather, from having a play with my Express's settings, that I'll be able to accomplish this either directly or by DHCP IP-reservation. Directly would be preferable. Therefore, if I, e.g., assign my computers an IP address on their local network settings and then just shift the Airport's DHCP range so that it starts with (say) 192.168.1.10, rather than, 192.168.1.2, will the Airport be happy with that?
    I also need port forwarding / port mapping. This should be o.k., right?
    Thanks for help, people.

    I'm running a very similar setup here in the UK. I use a Netgear DG834 rather than the Draytek 120 which I was looking at. I use a Time Capsule connected to the router which is in half-bridge mode and this allows me to connect using PPPoE, which is possible on the BT ADSL network, which I didn't know before! - there's no need to get an expensive PPPoA-PPPoE bridge. I guess the Draytek would do an even better job than the Netgear, but mine was the free solution
    I use the TC to give out addresses to a network of various kit, with one fixed IP for a specific device. I find the TC and my airport express very easy to set up and run, if slightly light on the details of what's actually going on. That said, if it doesn't work, then they're probably broken!
    Nothing you've asked for is out of the ordinary / impossible on the apple kit.
    Hope that helps!

  • Draytek Vigor 120 and Tesco Broadband in UK

    Hi,
    ive recently switched to Tesco broadband in the UK (with the supplied nasty modem/router). However, i wanted a more stable and reliable connection system that was configurable so after some researching bought a Draytek vigor 120 to partner my AIrport Express (gen2).
    initially things went well, however now i get virtually no data through the connection (if it connects at all), whereas using the tesco supplied modem/router its fine. ive done alot of web searching and read all the help on draytek to no avail.
    ive connected the draytek to my mac directly and it works a treat, but when connected to the airport express its dreadful
    i'm somewhat stuck for ideas on how to proceed. any ideas or experience anyone?

    It doesn't come with any documentation, but there is a support page online with instructions on setting up with airport. It also tells you what to do if you're on O2/Be LLU - that requires configuration (which you can do by plugging into your mac's ethernet port) but if it's just standard ADSL then you're good to go out of the box.
    The only downsides: I needed to upgrade the firmware to get a solid stable connection, not too much of a problem, except I had to do it with Firefox rather than Safari (scary moment when I thought it had crashed during flashing) and I had to go onto the Draytek forums to find the firmware.
    http://www.i-lan.com.au/downloads/firmware/Vigor120/Beta/0813/V1200813332201.zip
    Is the link, to save you time. I would try it without upgrading first, as it is beta and after flashing, the DSL/Internet lights don't work.
    The REALLY annoying thing is that there's no way (that I have found) to view the ADSL status page (or telnet) to see sync rate or change configuration.
    The really GOOD thing is that you can finally use back-to-my-mac and you no longer have two routers between you and the internet.

  • HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

    I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
    But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
    It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
    I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
    I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
    1. Restore the Network defaults
    2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
    3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
    4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
    5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
    6. Try enabling Web Services.
    I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
    It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
    So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
    I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
    Thanks a lot!

    I can assure you that it is not a router issue.  It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS.  After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.  
    The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch).  But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
    The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made).  The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue.  However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable.  Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network.  The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
    Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue.  I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.  
    Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request.  This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...).  I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix.  I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
    Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

  • Connection doctor and connection issues

    I have nothing blocking  my internet connection, however mail is a nightmare for me. I continually receive connection issues via the connection doctor for imaps, pops, and icloud.
    Are my settings wrong? I have checked with each of the settings and they are set per instructions provided. Some are google, some yahoo, icloud, etc.
    This is really annoying and I could really use some help.
    Here is a typical message: Could not connect to this Google IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account Preference"
    I have done all of this and am still having troubles.
    I am also receiving SMTP connection issues - "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verufy that the username and password are correct."
    I have checked and all are correct. Even more confusing, these issues are not present all the time - however I have not changed anything between when times are good and bad.

    I do this through "Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query" where I have my .ORA data source. I'm able to log in using my user and password and import the table. My problems come after I import this first set of data.
    If I try to "Edit Query…" I get an error box that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
    If I try to "Refresh Data" I get two error boxes. The first is just: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]" and the next says: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". It then prompts me for the User name and password of the DB I'm connecting and after I enter the information, I get the same two error messages.
    Also, if I attempt to establish another connection following the "Data -> Import External Data…" steps I run into a different problem. Upon entering the information for the User Name and password prompt I get two error messages. One says "!" and the next box says "Couldn't read this file". Once I click "OK" in those boxes, the Microsoft Query window automatically opens with nothing in it.
    I can't seem to figure out why I can initially pull down data and then cannot succeed afterwards. I'm unable to connect to the DB I have through Excel until I completely closed all Microsoft Excel instances.
    I also use this data source in Microsoft Access without any problems.
    My Excel version is 2003.
    I'm using Oracle Drivers I'm using are from an "Instant Client" package.
    Any thoughts why I'm having these connections issues?
    Thanks in advance.

    This issue is closed.
    The solution was:
    "Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data"
    Select "New Source" and select the "Oracle" data source and filled in the appropriate information. This was similar to the database query but it actually works.

  • My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

    I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
    At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input.  I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
    The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
    I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy.  I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
    Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
    Nathan.
