If you get a report of failure on 'MAS Host Information Send' with the following error:

Send MAS IP Settings Info:

The resolution is:

First Step:

Have tech go to MSS at Basic Administration, TCP/IP Administration, Network Addressing
Change TCP/IP Interface to Corporate LAN... you will find an item in the Aliases field.
Highlight this item, hit the delete key, click the Save button and press Return to Main.

Second Step:

Have tech go to MSS at Basic Administration, TCP/IP Administration, Network Addressing
Change TCP/IP Interface to Private LAN... you will find an item in the Aliases field.

Wait a minute then log back to the MSS.

Go to MSS at Basic Administration, TCP/IP Administration, MAS Host Information Send and click the Send button.
