I did migrate a few months ago, but it was working       normal up till today. I can't think of what I might have done, but I'm sure it       must have been something I did. I did recover it back, I do a back up every       night so I did a recovery of that VM and it work fine after that.              Thanks,       RickV                     --- SBBSecho 3.28-Win32        * Origin: Live Wire BBS [livewirebbs.com:1025] (1:154/110)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 266/512       SEEN-BY: 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 154/110 229/426           |
