Yes, go to LE site and download the program PMCOMMAND. Then you simply make
a text file that just has the command "show netcon". Put this text file in
the same directory as the PMCOMMAND program. Now issue this command line
in a DOS window:
pmcomman <your PM3 ether0 ip> <your PM3 !root pwd> <the name of the text file>

This will send that command out to the PM3 on UDP port 1643 and return the
output of the show netcon command. Now find the network handle number for
the telnet session. Make another text file and put the command "reset
nXXX" where xxx is the network handle for that telnet session. Do the same
command line in a DOS window putting the new text file name in and it will
reset that telnet session and fix your problem!!

HTH,
