Crashed and Lost Com Ports 3 times today.
I used the recommended recovery procedures Per Tim Flex Radio page and the provided Virtual Com removal tool.

Each time all went well and new Com Ports I manually recreated and each time radio worked except on a computer reboot.

My IT tech happen to be over and asked him to pull a LOG on the crashes and he says that Version 3.1.11 is trying to use IP Version 6 which I dont currently have supported.

Next I down graded to V3.1.8 and all my Comm Ports recreated again and all is now normal on subsequent restarts.

Is anybody experiences this besides me?

I'm also running Windows version 8.1

    I should have remembered.  They ran out of numbers IP 4.  Sorry about the PC.  Hope it's an easy repair.

    I windows open a terminal window type in ipconfig.  This will give complete listing of all ipv4 and ipv6 addresses as well as local address both ipv4 and ipv6.

    Not sure about your network set up, but if you are using a switch, the connection lights should come on if port is working at hardware level.  If it is working, then open a terminal window and ping a known IP address, like your radio or router.

    Is it my interpretation from the above discourse that ipV6 will not be supported by FlexRadio?

    Hi Chet, I have not heard Flex weigh in on this, so I wouldn't make any assumptions. It is probably more accurate to say that at the moment, Flex uses IPv4. What happens in the future is anyone's guess.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
