Re: duplicate ip in conficker blocking

I've been getting that too. OpenDns is actively blocking the conficker domains. I've only been getting 2 different ip's when I run the script. One is amazon and the other is opendns. I'm wondering if there is a way to detect the domains on the list using dns cache. Some script to check the dns cache...

I'd try a different power supply. 18 volts preferably. I know it's been working for months but your at the low end of the voltage requirement. Assuming the tower is ~150 feet, you're only getting about 10-11 volts to the units. XR's are power hungry devices. I have 3 RB411A running off a 13V power s...

Use torch on interface ether1 and see if the ip address you want to filter isn't actually destination address. If that's the case you need to change your rules and "in interface".

Then you can log back in and read the log or file.

Re: Why dont all the outages show on my notification pop up

If you have them on a map, drag a box around them all, right click and select settings from the menu.
Otherwise you could configure the default settings for the server. Then when you add a device it will be set, but I think you will still have to set the devices already added.
