That's what I'm getting now, I had it working before I changed my 
setup to use a XP VM under W10 so I'm thinking it has something to do with it. 

It reads the nodelist and very slowly but it doesn't find the node# entered,  
if I use PXtools I can search the nodelist just fine so thinking the nodelist
isn't the problem.
