Unable to get any http requests:Unable toretreive netstg2.imgfile

[Mukarram Syed]

I tried Alt+f1, Alt+f2 etc. no effect.
I am doing all this from the cyclades console.
I might have to go in front of the box and try it out, which I should be
doing in a few hours.

Thanks for the suggestion.

-Mukarram.

Sorry if the suggestion has already been made.

Did you try to go to the other consoles ? There is a lot of information
there which can help to debu your problem.
