BTW, are you really sure that the problem was with 1.4.2fc2 and not 1.4.2-rc1 or 1.4.2-beta3? The reason I ask is that I introduced a bug in 1.4.2-beta3 and fixed it in 1.4.2-rc2 that would cause afsd_service.exe to crash while attempting to create the "BackConnectionHostNames" entry in the registry. This bug would only be triggered on new installs. If there is still a problem I need to know about it. Jeffrey Altman
