We have installed a beacon on our network (138.18.250.6) and we can get into the default beacon group (233.4.200.21), but I was wondering why we can't seem to get access to the access grid (233.2.171.1). I'm wondering if maybe there is a registration required? Please advise. Sincerely, Tim Owen Senior DREN Engineer MCI DREN NOC 866.662.3736 noc@dren.net --- end of quote ---
