[arm-allstar] Trouble connecting to nodes at start up

Sun Nov 19 06:41:18 EST 2017

Hi Doug,
   Hey I received the email trail you have with Chris.  I seem to have the
same problem, and saw you were going to private email Chris back.
I applied t get registered on ARM-Allstar, and haven't got my email back
yet with approval,
Sure would like to know what the solution is.
