I actually successfully set it up and got it working about a year ago to play 
with it, and compared to a few others I played with, this one was a piece of 
cake. But I've been trying to set it up again for tha past month or two and  I 
have hit a snag on a few steps. I should have just kept that old one up and 
running and transitioned it from my lab to my production server. 

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
