I am able to ping 192.168.1.5 from the terminal on raspberry pi. I have even stopped CumulusMX, unzipped the current version as if I was performing an upgrade, and restarted CumulusMX with no positive results. My website is not being updated nor am I able to access the dashboard via TCP Port 8998 (which was previously working). I had upgraded to the current version on 29 July and CumulusMX was running without problems until early this morning.

Any and all help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I did another reboot, and now everything is working correctly again. Not sure why after multiple reboot trys it finally started again. I made no changes to my setup. Strange.....

There do seem to be some odd things happening with the PING when running under Mono.
