Reproduce the problem, leave everything running, then

   1. Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to launch the Windows Task Manager
   2. Click on the "Processes" tab
   3. Click on the "Image Name" button (the title over the first column).
    This will sort the running processes alphabetically
   4. Scroll down and verify that you have only ONE copy of WtDxTelnet.exe
   running, and only ONE copy of wt.exe (or wt_dev.exe) running.

If you have TWO copies of wtdxtelnet.exe running in this process list, right
click on one of the them and select "End Process" to end it.  That should
fix the problem.  You may want to make sure you have NOT checked Options, DX
cluster, Local wtDxTelnet, Start/stop automatically.

If you have only ONE copy of wtdxtelnet.exe running, it is possible that a
remote system (maybe outside of your house), is feeding packet spots into
your network.  Cancel the one remaining copy of wtDxTelnet.exe.

Make sure there are NO copies of wtdxtelnet.exe running, and see if you
still get packet spots.  If you do, that is the problem, and you have to
adjust your firewall settings to block outside packet spots from being seen
on your local LAN (make sure port 9871 is blocked, not forwarded).

If none of this works, please send me a screen shot of both your Win-Test
SETUP window and your wtDxTelnet Options, DX Cluster Properties window, the
one with the ports and IP addresses.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-PrintScreen to copy the active window to the Windows
clipboard, then paste the screen shot into email or Windows Paint.
