I believe HAI and I tried everything we could think of as far as testing, and then I was left to locate a local installer to try to diagnose further. I just haven’t had the time to find one; and, I’d need to find one that actually knows something about this kind of problem, rather than paying for hours and hours of education and random testing. Is there anything new, or has anyone else reported a similar problem? Everything works fine until I plug in the Ethernet connection to our house network (whether or not PCAccess is running).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Brad<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> hai-users-bounces@tssi.com [mailto:hai-users-bounces@tssi.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tom Morgan<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, October 07, 2010 2:22 PM<br><b>To:</b> Brad; HAI-users@tssi.com<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [Hai-users] Omni Pro II Ethernet port weirdness<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>As long as all of the facts are accurate it sounds to me like a flaky component, bad soldier joint or a bad connection at the Ethernet port. The only thing on that list that are within your control is the Ethernet port connection. By any chance is it a connection using an EZ RJ-45? If so, make certain the wire cuts are clean and there is no potential for shorts. As well, make certain the plug is in until you hear it click. I sometimes have to bend the clip up before inserting to make certain it clicks. If it is a standard RJ-45 jack and you made it, make certain the wires are all of the way to the top of the jack. If it is a store bought cable, try swapping it. With the jack out, make certain all 8 pins are in their respective 'gates'. It is rare but they can hop and have 2 pins short in a single gate. Anything beyond that may be at the board level.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>Tom Morgan</span><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>Chief Technical Officer, Worthington Distribution</span><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>Vice President, Worthington University<br><a href="http://www.worthingtonu.com/"><span style='color:#1F497D'>www.worthingtonu.com</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>570-451-4700 ext 150<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>For orders:</span><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>800-282-8864<br>On-Line Catalog:<br><a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/catalog"><span style='color:#1F497D'>www.worthingtondistribution.com/catalog</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>The latest News:<br><a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/blog">www.worthingtondistribution.com/blog</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#4F81BD'>Learn how to take an HAI to the next level on October 1st: HAI Advanced Applications: <a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/university/modules/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=114">Tafton PA</a>, <a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/university/modules/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=130">OnLine</a>, or in <a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/university/modules/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=116">Las Vegas</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#00B050'>The next <a href="http://www.worthingtondistribution.com/university/modules/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=94"><span style='color:#00B050'>Worthington University</span></a> is November 9-12 for only $99 per company.
