[Rsiena-help] siena07 and network connections

[Nate Doogan]

Hey Ruth.

This machine is using XP. I do not get the option to "unblock" or "keep
blocking." It appears to simply be a notice. In the past I have been given
the option, and I vaguely recall that it didn't matter which I chose as
you've said. But now it's the only lead I have for why the estimation never
begins. It could be something else altogether. I'll continue checking and
rechecking my scripts and the status of the machines around here with
respect to administration.

Also, I have tried this with RSiena release 167 and the most recent 191.

Thanks as always.

Nate
