What does that mean? It's only going to have one lease at a time.

I have the same model and before I updated the firmware it would hang after 1-2 days. I'm not sure about it now but it might be staying up for 1-2 weeks. It might not be hanging up, I haven't checked it out thoroughly yet. I can't recall if I've ever accessed this camera from Fedora. I can access it from Mac OS, Debian, UBuntu and WinXP. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
