[arm-allstar] Fwd: BBB_Allstar_v1.1

[John]

That's what I thought... and those are the steps I took. So I'm back to
suspecting something screwy with my router.... I will be bypassing my
primary router today and putting the node back on the hotspot on a DMZ'd
IP. If all of these gremlins go away, then I'll be looking for a different
router!

Still loving the little BBB and I know once I get these crazy networking
problems identified that I'll be tickled pink. Thanks again for all of your
work on this project and your continued support.

John
