Around this time last year the Bitcoin made the great leap.. no telling what will happen this year - although all bets are on the 1st quarter of 2015. Any pipe dream predictions? :-)

I used to hate olx because of the dfficulty filtering results but changes they have made make it much easier in my opinion to narrow down to the specifics.

Re: [Skunkworks] Weird VPN problem between Cisco Routers - RESOLVED
by Odhiambo Washington 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

So a JTL engineer took a look and couldn't find a solution. I consulted my local guru and you guys don't want to imagine what the solution was: He looked at the config and all seemed well. He created a new tunnel - named it tunnel51 - with the exact same params as tunnel49 and everything worked perfectly. So the problem, according to our diagnosis, is that the router which was showing 'line protocol is down' had suddenly hated the name 49 and wanted a different name. 51 did it. One day you encounter such a problem, you know what to do. Rename the tunnel <LOL> On 19 October 2015 at 16:16, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I am calling JTL and as usual, cannot find anyone on Tech Support.
