but its not working. All i have is:

telnet 192.168.2.18 23
Trying...
Escape character is '^y'.
ERROR #208

>From my PC i can telnet this address.

I'm using level 1 and I have:

scdwv
N
N1
N2
N3
N4
scdwp
p

And using Drivewire 4.3.3c

I'm having problems running the version 4.3.3o, i have this error at
startup:

I already did a fresh reinstall but nothing. Strange that if I run DWUI.sh
as root (sudo) this error won't happen.

I'm using ubuntu 13.04 and sun jre.
