Check if they have different firmware version.  (Shown in the "Interface 
Status" field on the control window)

The current firmware version is v2.06

Well, go 0 resets the engine, which includes clearing it.  This doesn't 
necessarily mean lighting goes off though, it just means that particular 
layer doesn't contribute to it anymore.

If you want lights to go off (or any other default), make sure those 
defaults are set in a "background layer", placed lowest in the layer 
list.  Then whenever higher layers are cleared, lights will revert to 
the defaults you set in the background layer.

That's strange, I can't readily explain that.  You mean the "don't 
forget to save lanbox data" notice?
