The first thing I'd check is the contents of that "red" client test
web page. Has the data in the page changed to reflect the disk space
that you freed up? Is the timestamp (in the top right-hand corner)
changing as new messages come in?

My guess is that status messages are no longer being received and
the status will probably have become "purple" by now. The next step
would be to check that the client software has not died and that
the BBOUT log file on both client and server don't contain any
error messages.

If that looks OK, I would then test the connectivity between the
client and server. On the client machine (as the BB user), telnet
to port 1984 on the server. The correct behaviour is that the
connection should remain open for a few seconds and then close
automatically. If the connection does not connect, or closes
immediately, there may be a routing issue or some firewall
software that is getting in the way.

Cheers, Phil.
