[OLUG] failures

[Nathan Brown]

Yes i did connect to the olug site witht he numbers ... so my default rout must be
there.  I waited on the ping for about 10 minutes.  and i did remover the lock file
and it still did the same thing .... the system thinks it's running another instance
for some reason ....

thanks
Nate
