I have yet to determine >the fix for this problem. I contacted the original author of looking glass (visix) about this problem and guess what - THERE IS A BUG IN THE LICENSE SERVER ! Having read some of the previous comments attacking the license numbers introduced in 2.2, I can't help grinning at the irony of this situation :-). Anyway, Visix is hard at work correcting the problem. If you need to chat with them, try 1-800-832-8668 - I found them to be very pleasant and helpful. By the way, I have also noticed that lg runs at init 2. It seems that lg bypasses the license server if it finds that TCP/IP is not running. If you do not need to access lg over the net, you can start it at init 2 and then increase to level 3, lg then continuesto run just fine. This leaves you with the net up and running and lg running locally. Steve Birch hplabs!felix!birch
