<p class="MsoNormal">This sounds almost exactly like the message you get when you have two computers on the network using exactly the same station name (e.g., "STN1"). Every computer on the Win-Test LAN must have a unique network name. This must be configured
at the bottom of the Contest Configuration Screen (shortcut text command: REOPEN). An easy way to create this problem is to copy the active .WT4 file from one computer to another without changing the station name in the file.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The station recording the QSO is also in the .WT4 file. You can dump this information to a text file using the WRITELOG text command. Just check "Text File" and click the Options button. Then select "Station name" as one of the fields
to be written to the text file.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember that <i>every</i> computer on the Win-Test LAN that is running Win-Test must have a unique name, including "support" or "backup" stations that are not logging any QSOs, and remote computers wired through some type of private VPN.<o:p></o:p></p>

and network will be disabled” or similar. It was a longer message and unfortunately I did not copy it. Also said something about conflict with some other station I guess. This was a RUN station. So we had to RELOAD some 20+ times I guess to get the network
back up. This has not happened before. Any reason this is happening in MS configuration in MIXED mode serial number contest?
