There are a number of security settings that can be made in user tools restrict who, if anyone, can access WIM. If overall security level is then returned to normal, custom settings remain in effect but are not displayed.
How would that explain the fact that the WIM is accessible after a reboot? Regardless of who and where they are coming from.
My idea for now is to connect my laptop directly to the Ricoh and see if I can hit the WIM. Someone told me once you can connect a roll over to the NIC and be able to access the Ricoh that way. If the WIM loads without a reboot, maybe it really is a network issue?
Unless both the copier and the laptop are both ancient, a cross over cable is not needed. Just set an IP address for the laptop that is on the same sub net as the copier and use a patch cable.
I just wonder if some network security software isn’t monitoring network activity, then shutting down any connection that it feels is “inappropriate”.
That would explain why it works after a reboot, then croaks shortly thereafter.
The direct connect from your notebook would be a huge help. If it connects and stays connected, that pretty much screams that it’s a network issue.
