[K12OSN] Stuck boot

[Mark Gumprecht]

Found the problem and not sure why.
The firewall was set to medium and was denying clients. I thought I had 
been cracked, the logs don't indicate that. Is there a definite way to 
tell if someone tampered with that or has this happened to anyone else? 
I changed all passwords to be on the safe side.
