I have seen BIOS out of date on boxes and giving a 00000000-0000 .. I did have it working once, however our direction has changed.. hope that helps.. not sure of a bug... but I believe there is another patch or 2 above 1.6 001 but now everything is going to the new discovery, and from what I have been complaining, and complaining about might actually be in the new one.. SNMP V3, and Java newer than 1.4.2... I heard 1st quarter, but now with the aquision, I wonder if it will be longer..
