Bill, That's exactly the type of error message I hoped you'd see. At this stage it looks promising that you'll be able to establish a workstation connection. Just make sure you enter the right IP address on the WSCON panel (i.e. enter the IP address of your PC workstation just under the field that says "TCP/IP Address"), and make sure the 'Workstation Connection' field is entered as '2 -Without GUI Display'.
