Well, I'll be dipped...I changed that port back to 8010 on the LS, and now I'm getting corrections. The Jetpack is back to showing a connected IP of 0.0.0.0, but the corrections are coming through. I guess when I tried changing that port entry before I had something else in the system cobbled up that kept it from working. In the last few days I've altered just about every setting I could find in an effort to figure out what was wrong.
John, I'll hold off on that call for now since things are working again, but thanks very much for offering to take a call on a Sunday!
Adam, yes, my unit is up do date with the current release version. I don't know how or when that port number got changed, but I know I didn't do it. All I know is that the TCP setup went from working a couple of months ago to not working when I tried it this last week.
Thanks to all of you for helping me through this.

I have been reading this thread. I am wondering... Is this all about setting the T-2 to broadcast to the internet, and the LS can get corrections, from the internet?
If that is true, then can I set the T-2 (Or T-1M, as the case may be) to Broadcast with radio, AND to the internet, at the same time? Is this something I should pursue?
(My brain wheels are rotating... Set T-2 at office, on steel post. Set it to broadcast to the internet...)
Jim, you are a very patient person.
Thanks

Nate, yes you can transmit your base corrections over the internet to your LS. You are limited to cell coverage. You also want to keep in mind your baseline length. Shawn has tested the range on this a little bit but it has been some time ago now I believe.
I am considering setting mine up to do this as well. I don't have cell phone coverage very many places but when I do it will be great!
Nate,
Here is a trick I do for areas that are UHF and cell service limited. I start my base using my UHF regular configuration. I then use my el cheapo Windows tablet, and launch the free Javad program named Netview which runs on any PC. I then Bluetooth connect the tablet to the T2 base, and "turn on" port 8010 to output the same correction stream that is going out over UHF, to also be available over the internet.
This is easy to do, and gives you two ways to get your base corrections. Two is better than one!
You might get in a spot where UHF has nothing, switch over to cell, and "voila". The opposite may also turn out to be true. You never know until you go stand there.

Jim, keep check on the port. We had an issue a while back where the port would change to 8002. I haven't seen it in a while and no reports of it but if you notice it changes let us know.
Are you Base/Rover Setup to start the base? What version of JField do you have?

Yes, Base/Rover Setup. My J-Field version was the current release as of last week. I'll check the version number when i get back in the office.
Jim,
I would like for you to write down any IP addresses, and passwords in any or your internet based General Setup profiles, and then delete, and recreate the setups.

I did that, and the port number seems to have persisted through a reboot. However, I managed to hose something during the recreation process, because now I'm not able to start the base, and the LS seems to be looking for a LAN connection to the base:

Jim,
Feel free to call me. I am at the desk.

What was the cure?

Deleting all profiles with an IP address and then recreating them. But I got lost in the maze of screens necessary to get all the connections working again, so John had to bail me out.

Could J-Field be modified to allow this functionality without the tablet and extra steps? Looks like this would be very useful at times.
