If Hobbit is running correctly I don't see how you got a red status in the
conn column - you have a noconntag.

Can you delete the history files for that host and see if shows up again?

Iv'e got a question about Hobbit,
The helpfile says : By default, Hobbit will always check if the host is up
and running by trying to "ping" it. This results in a *conn* column on the
Hobbit webpage for this host, showing if the ping-test succeeded. If you
have a host that does not respond to ping - e.g. because there is a
firewall that filters out such requests - then you can disable the ping-test
by putting a "noconn" keyword on the line in bb-hosts.

But this doesn't work!

My line is:  0.0.0.0      (website)    # noconn http://(website<http://%28website/>;
)

But the connection icon stays red.
Also the icons fomr the Hobbit server itself are truning purple? How can i
switch them back to green??

I can't find this in the manual.
