Hi David, Thanks for the quick response. Sorry I've taken so long, but I was away a couple of days. The fields are still blank and I can't enter anything into them, but I'm able to connect to all my usual clusters including K1EU (local) and K1TTT. It's still a puzzle, but as long as it works... Happy Holidays es 73, Joe. K1JB

The only settings that matter on the Packet1 tab would be Type set to "Normal" and COM port set to TCP/IP. The fact that you can connect to some clusters and not other is possibly an Internet issue. Can you give a couple of examples of clusters that you can connected to and some that you can't? Can you try connecting to K1TTT, which I know is up and running right now. -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Monday, December 26, 2022 4:55 PM To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Packet settings Greetings and Merry Christmas. Everything worked well earlier today, but just now when I tried to get packet spots DX4WIN, version 8.05, nothing happened. I looked at Preferences (I'm at User Level-Expert, but sure don't feel like one) and found all the Packet Setup Parameters blank. For example, the Type window is blank. If I click on the arrow inside the window it shows a choice of None or Regular. If I click on either, the choices disappear, but the Type window is still blank. The same is true of the COM Port, Baud Rate, Flow, Data/Parity, etc. All these had entries before but are now blank. To make it more confusing, I could still connect to a distant server, but couldn't connect to any in New England. Firefox, email, and packet spots on N1MM+ Logger are all working OK. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks es 73.
