I did go round and round with Tech support but in the end they weren't much help BUT what I did discover was this:
? I created a test project and just loaded that with all defaults (left crestron as default location) and it still came up with the rouge location. No matter what I did (changing DNS, everything) no change. I initilized and restored the panel and tried again, this time it stuck so I believe some how a location gets stuck in the panels bios or something and by restoring it and loading a test page and then your project seems to set the correct location? very odd.
