Issue with development mode

I noticed today when I attempt to generate a new key on my roku 2 and roku 3 devices the telnet prompt exits abruptly. All I did was press enter to type in the genkey command. Both devices are using the latest firmware 7. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

telnet 192.168.0.12 8080
Trying 192.168.0.12...

    This happened the other day to me and a simple power cycle resolved the issue. Did you try that first?

    that happens on what firmware version and model number ("roku 2" means many, many things)?
    might be relevant.

    EnTerr. I figured out the issue. The Mac i was working on was blocking port 8080. I used another Mac and it worked fine. Thanks!
