HEY, AW.... How ya doin'...

May be a bit weird, but I've installed BS on 7 different comps in the past 10 days...
No rest for the wicked, what ?

Anyway...

What I've certainly observed, and have seen no reference above to this point, is that one must FIRST run BS 'normal' and allow the first normal connect sequence to occur.
Meaning, simply, if you install BS and immediately copy the latest hostiles list into the BS system, without having allowed a first launch and connect after install, YOU WILL NEVER CONNECT.

It appears to me that the first connect sequence after the initial installation MUST be allowed to proceed....

Then, close BS - Shutdown PC...

Start PC and then bung the 'new hostiles list' into your BS \Program Files directory....

Man, I tried this maybe 30 times total on the above mentioned machines.... Only way to connect at all with the new hostiles list was to copy the list into an already configured and at least one time connected to hosts with the intial and standard BS installation....

Make sense or do I need a tad more local 53% rum ?
Say yes !!!! lol
