Hi,
one of the Decstations had trouble connecting athena lockers. The users'
message to us about it was:

The problem moved from Klee to Saarinen when I switched network cables while
Saarinen was broken for other problems. So the problem seems to be in the
network cabling from Saarinen on back to the Delni perhaps. Is that something I
can get help for?
Thanks!
Rob
