- I am getting an error when trying to install updates, what do I do?: Updates are installed via our FTP server, if you are connected to a network that does not allow FTP access, please contact your network administrator or IT professional to allow this access.
- Will the connection ports be different from DLS 4 to DLS 5: No, all of the default ports are the same on DLS 5.
