When was you last daily call?

If before 5pm ESDT today, force one now and post your otclient log once successful.

Yes you will have problems with update, but we can overcome them.

cd /etc
cat update_exclude

This will list the contents of that file, if it exists. Post the details here.

If it doesn't exist, the use your editor of choice to make a new file called update_exclude

remember to use rw to make the system read/write first.

Paste the following into it.

/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
/etc/ntpdate_local_ip

save the file, and use ro to make system read only.

Peter.
