[Dxbase] Packet Comm Mgr initialization failed

Fri Jun 12 23:04:51 EDT 2015

I'm using my laptop from work to run DXBase while I'm deployed on a field project (it's a meteorological research project called PECAN and you can see more about it at PECAN: Plains Elevated Convection at Night). I've hauled along a rig and have strung an antenna from my apartment that seems to work. I've set up DXBase (Windows 7 64, DXBase v1.10) and all seems well until I try to connect to an internet packet cluster, when I get a "Packet Comm Mgr initialization failed" message. I'm connected to the internet and can go pretty much anyplace I want. I know I've seen mentoion of this before but I didn't have any luck with a Google search and I have all my email archived at home. What have I not set up right?
