    Ken,

    That's the problem - I *can't* turn off the firewall. XPe SP2 has it enabled
    and it won't let me turn it off. I agree that's probably the source of the
    problem since I've ruled out everything else! Don't know if the platform
    builder installed it wrong, or XPe firewall can't be shut off (hard to
    believe) or what.
