An example of how I can be such an idiot
Category None
Last night I was trying to login to a Sametime server, I kept getting the server unavailable message. So I fired up remote desktop, looked at the server and everything looked fine. Tried again, same message, OK let me try a different server, same message, hhm my firewall settings must have changed, checked them, nope looked the same, tried again, same message, disabled firewall, same message. Have you worked out what I was doing wrong yet? Restarted machine, no change. Started Sametime with -clean, same message, arggh. Took the dog for a walk and tried to login again, same message. Light bulb goes off, and I say out loud, I am such an idiot. Be sure you type the server name into the server field and the user name into the user name field and not the other way around, doh!
