Hi Chris,

Thank you so much. I typed the lines you used in your rc.conf, it does =
not work here. Perhaps I need do some other things, I do not know. I =
have to check some of these resources you provide. I got this problem =
several days ago, but still could not solve it now. It is really time =
consuming... But anyway, I will check these resources. I will contact =
you if I have any progress or other problems. : )
Thanks,

Best,
W.W.
