Glad you got it. I've been *really* busy all morning - shutdown of chilled
water at 0-dark-30 meant shutting all the servers down yesterday, then
bringing them up once the chiller water came on - but when I saw that
you'd found it was a network issue, I was literally about to respond that
it might not be your system's problem, but something on the network, when
I saw your subject of SOLVED.

Congrats.
