Joe, while you're waiting for the response center, you can workaround your
little problem by simply adding the ;OVERRIDE option to your NSCONTROL
command.

Or, you might try the following:

1. bring your network down.
2. rename nsmast.net.sys
3. re-stream jconfjob.net

This worked for me once at the suggestion of the response center.

In any case, the first option should work for you - pending a more
permanent solution.

And congrats on taking the big step.
