State Server not working

Hi
Sorry if this post appears twice, but it is not appearing in my news
reader.

We have an application that uses sessionState set up in Web.config is
setup as follows:
<sessionState mode="StateServer"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
cookieless="false" timeout="900"/>

When running in debug, the app works on other machines,
but on a new Toshiba development machine that was just setup
I am getting the error "Unable to make the session state request to
the session state server. Please ensure that the ASP.NET State service
is started and that the client and server ports are the
same.....HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aspnet_state\Parameters\AllowRemoteConnection".

If setting a breakpoint and stepping through app to try to catch this
error, sometimes it does not happen. Timing/timeout related?

We are using C# in VS 2003 on Win XP, .NET 1.1, NTFS file system. This
machine is running IIS V5.1. All of these tools are on one machine.
The only thing remote is a SQL Server database server that the app
connects to for data.
- The ASP State service is running.
- I checked the registry entry anyway and AllowRemoteConnection is set
to 0.(as it was on other machine)
Tryed setting it to 1, but no difference.
- The Port value (in registry) is 42424 , the same as the web.config
entry.
- I added ASPNET to administrators group.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks
jeff
