The radio club I am in, Boeing Amateur Radio Society (BEARS), here in  
St. Louis is having a problem with one of our HF operation positions.

We  have 3 IBM computers, all the same, running Win2000.  We are using 
Writelog 10.69D and they are on a little local area network using a 
LinkSys router.

I guess we have been running this setup for about 2 years now.  All been 
working fine, but it seems this Fall with all the contests that one of 
our stations (Computer) lost the ability to populate the Packet Spot 
Window or bandmap when connected to telnet.
The telnet (packet) connects and all the spots are coming through the 
network.  The other two computers on the network have no problem at all. 

When we using the network, we use one of the other computers as the main 
server, it connects to the internet and then the others computer connect 
local to it for packet spots.  All works well.
Just not spots on this one computer spot window or bandmap.

I tried using this computer by its self without the network and it 
connects to the internet, spots come in, but will not populate the spot 
window or band map.
I re-installed Writelog 10.69D and that did not fix it.  I did not 
un-install Writelog before the re-install.

Any ideas??  We are getting ready for the Missouri QSO Party this 
weekend and since we are sponsoring the Missouri QSO Party, working us 
W0MA is a 100 point bonus.
We really don't need this fix for this weekend as we will just be 
calling CQ MOQP but other contests are always around.
