Subject: Problems connecting while 'on the road'

This email is mainly for archival purposes.  

I spent several hours losing handfuls of hair over why I was able to connect  but not get online while traveling.   The "other" OS works fine but 
no ping was possible w/ eCS.

Turns out that since at home I use a static IP & host file that it was the problem.  My home router has the same IP as the router I am trying to 
connect to while traveling.

By changing my host file to have only the loopback I was able to get online.

I doubt many others will come across this problem since most folks use dhcp at home.  I'm posting this in case it helps someone save some 
time.  This email also serves as a test that it actually works.
