I'm having a problem too. I start the "Link a ControLinc process", the "Initializing System" popup appears, it runs for a few seconds, identifies the Insteon address (05.BC.DC.1). Then there's another popup: "Cannot Communicate With (05.BC.DC.1). Please check connections." HouseLinc had no problems linking to it. The Event Viewer completed without any obvious errors, the last message saying, "---- All Linked Devices are now initialized...." The ControLinc buttons appear in My Lighting but the ControLinc was never actually initialized nor does it read the links that were (and still are) there. There's also a red exclamation point next to 05.BC.DC.1.

Thanks. I read the thread and kept playing with settings in Kaspersky A/V (unsuccessfully) until I moved everything to a laptop on the network and disabled Kaspersky entirely. That didn't work either until I used Internet Explorer, then it was happy. For some reason, JRE didn't like Firefox 3. Having to disable a popular Windows virus checker in order to use the ISY99 is bad news. Can the ISY99 be set to run on an unprivileged port so virus checkers won't be interested in it, or won't this make a difference?

Actually, probably three. First there's the port firewall in the WRT54G, although I *believe* it doesn't firewall on the internal LAN. Then there's Windows' firewall. Finally, there's a firewall resident in the A/V software I use here, Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Usually though if there's a firewall breach attempt, Kaspersky lets me know it with a bright red popup and a screeching audio alert. I haven't gotten that. What should I be looking for? Incidentally, the ISY99 manual talks about an installation disk but I didn't get one.

I just got the ISY99i and installed it on my network, which includes a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The ISY99 is plugged into one of the its ports. The software recognizes the DHCP device and assigned a NAT address of 192.168.1.104. But that's about as far as I've been able to get. In the Administrative Console, after I login I get a red popup that says "Discovering Nodes; Retry!" That's about it. The software lets me change My Location but when I navigate away/back to the Configuration screen, my edits are gone. Occasionally I get a red popup with a Java error about the existing connection being forcibly closed. On the XP side, in Network Places, I got "My Lighting" to show up but clicking on it produces an error, "The device you are trying to use is not currently available on your network. Check to see if the device is on the network and try again." Is this a firewall issue, a router issue or what?
