Re: Newby - Help with Homeseer /xap/ xLobby

Bill,

As siliconmeltus mentioned a single wildcard of
mi4.homeseer.servername.*:xxx  seems to work fine. I'm looking in to why
there are issues with *.* It shouldn't make any difference but something
does seem to be stopping it match. I'll look into it and report back.
