[AG-USERS] what is going on, in spades????

[Eric Olson]

Fred,

Hanging when connecting to the ivs could be caused by a couple of things.

Could you:
- Tell us if it hangs when connecting to another server: 
https://vv2.mcs.anl.gov:9000/Venues/default
- Reproduce the problem and then submit an error report from the 
VenueClient's help menu to give us more information?  It is okay if you 
need to restart the VenueClient before submitting the error report.
- Verify that your machine's ip address and hostname resolve to each 
other correctly?

Although hanging when connecting to the ivs is unrelated to QuickTime, 
if you make sure you have updated quicktime 7 on your machine (I believe 
7.0.1 is the current release), you should have no problems related to 
QuickTime.
