Auto-connect at startup?

I was using 1.8k very many months ago, and I seem to recall that if a slave keyclone auto-connected to the master, the master would connect back. At any rate, I'm dead tired from grinding wow things, and my head may be fuzzy, but I've upgraded to 1.9h now, and I fire up the master and slave, the slave contacts the master, shows the ping line, but master doesn't recognize the slave until I manually type it into the connect box (and then it works fine) Am I missing a setting somewhere? I had it working...but that was months ago and the network topology in the house has changed since then.

Thanks for the recent enhancements (and please prioritize distinguising lctrl/rctrl and lalt/ralt higher ;-) )

you only need one connection for it to work. i normally recommend connecting into the main box, but the choice is yours.

if you see a connection line on the slave, but not the master, that means the packets from the slave are either being blocked by the main's firewall, or there is not network path between to the two.
