Heya. Yes, we should show the last active time for all
devices, regardless of type (eg, PC, MACs, APPLIANCEs, etc).
I've seen the "No Network Connection" on devices of
all types, including PC's.
Also, be cautious when changing the NID: older versions
of Kaboodle on the same LAN with newer versions can crash if the
two versions use vastly different NID structures. So make the
changes you need, just please verify it works with the current
0.99 binary.
thanks,
Scott
