Thanks William, I don't know where else I would have learned about the 127.0.01 dummy address.
Earlier, with ActiveSinc working, 192.168.1.101 came up over the icon, so I think TCP/IP worked once. I shut activeSync down as I thought this would free up the only port. are these virtual ports or do they each refer to just one specific socket? Also, does anyone else have a clue why the srvice helper would not operate, or what to do about it. I guess I could re-un'zip' the program and re-install it.
