Kerry,
You wrote "I'm guessing that something changed in the latest version of PanelPro". Are you using the latest version of PanelPro or are you using the latest version of PanelPro? (Yes I DID mean to write the same thing twice!)
If you are using JMRI 4.16, the **latest "production" version**, just don't. Get rid if it! It is known to have issues with pretty much any connection type which uses a COM port. LocoNet connections ARE affected.
What can you do to "fix" 4.16 issues?
- uninstal 4.16 and install 4.17.5, or
- Sometimes you can "fix" that problem by looking at the "Edit->Preferences->Defaults" settings to ensure that things haven't "defaulted" to "Internal" instead of keeping set for "LocoNet".
If instead you are already using **the latest "test release" version**, version 4.17.5, then you should _not_ have that problem, as that problem was fixed somewhere around version 4.17.3, I think. In that case we will need MUCH more information, like the "console log" information.
Regards,
Billybob
