That is exactly what this update addresses. Read the highlighted section. It can't be stated any clearer.

On second read of his post, I think he is implying that the update came too late to save his team's ports.


EDIT - Looks like I was wrong. Matt - what happened to them?

That was a typo. I meant to say USB ports

Ah, well that makes more sense. On that note, I would agree, but I have to ask, how did you break USB ports. That is the first I have heard of that particular failure.

[mattd7591]

We didn't do anything in particular. They just stopped working. We theorize it became loose like the ethernet ports.

Could someone please post a link to a device that is described in the update so I have an idea what to buy.

Thanks in advance,

I just found this:

http://www.shopvsc.com/ProductDetail...QVS-CC712MF-01 and here:
http://www.topmicrousa.com/cc712mf-01.html (same product)

It's a 1 foot long male-to-female RJ45 Ethernet patch cable for $5.55.

If you need one very soon, there are female-female RJ45 couplers available at many stores that have network stuff, you could use one with one of the KOP ethernet cables (but not the orange one, which is a crossover and to be used for the camera only).
