It hasn't re-occurred or I would of responded. or maybe I should of said, I couldn't of responded. Not that I want it to, but I'm almost clueless on how to troubleshoot, especially when it's not re-occurring. Sad

(Chrome-dome, FF & Opera GUI's are carbon copies of one another AFAIC ; worthless. It's too bad Opera Classic V12.18 couldn't of been update retaining the same GUI features. It had just about everything.)

Count it as a possible momentary glitch, I guess. Until it happens again, of course.

I guess, that happened twice after the e-mail.
Joy and rapture.

I just wanted to share what caused my problem with the DHCP server being "Enabled - Stopped". I had put a special character in one of the hostnames under Services / Static Leases. The only special character that is allowed in a hostname is a "-", and I didn't know better. You can also generate this problem with an invalid character in the MAC address. There doesn't appear to be any error-checking of inputs for static leases (not a complaint, just an observation).

I had the same "ënabled-stopped" issue, caused in this case by entering an "O" instead of "0" in one of the mac addresses under Services (ie an invalid character)
