Did it twice. Passed the Lowe's Motor Speedway on the way to Razoos for lunch (great Cajun place BTW) and waved. Had some outstanding blackened...
start => run => eventvwr.msc and check your event logs. There should be entries related to those incidents with lots more detail. When you...
One other item to add. Since you are using a private address range for the network (at least I assume you are), why not back out to a netmask...
