Todd,
I get the same result. I tried your suggestion. What happens to me is when I
get to point where the mce is trying to finally connect to xtender, It
cannot connect.
If I hit help, it says I need to open ports 3776,3390,7790 on norton
firewall. I have
norton internet security with firewall and antivirus. I tried turning norton
stuff off and that did not help. I could not see how to open ports either.
For one thing I can't even find the extender exe file. Got any ideas? I have
reinstalled original and it works just fine.
