Hello Sam, This is VTERR 42, most common causes: 1. Remote PC has powered down or re-booted instead of shutting down the VT & TCP software. 2. This error is also commonly seen when (2) PC's have the same IP address configured. These (2) PC's will not be able to operate at the same time with a duplication IP address, so the last one which has booted up and started the TCP software will be the one working, until the other PC experiencing the problem reboots and then they are the working system. Each PC must have a unique IP address. Hope this helps. Regards, James Hofmeister Hewlett Packard Worldwide Technology Network Expert Center P.S. My Ideals are my own, not necessarily my employers.
