here now reading your email to rfresh my memory Able to ping cameras but BI no connection the screen is too small to close the update window are you seeing the blue "end session" popup? can you close that (i cant) I'm not seeing it. I've found alt f4 works to close windows it's a remote computer so the IPs wont even load in a browser? correct but can ping them ok. i thought it was just blue iris having the issue i'm afraid i dont have an answer for you here... it's a networking question not a Blue Iris topic Thank you do you do networking work remotely (for a fee of course)? we do not Well I thank you very much and am impressed with BI's support. Have a great day. you as well, thanks
