Todd.
I did what you said to do in one of the other forums: create a start from
scratch - so I uninstalled all mcx stuff and removed from xbox memory and pc.
rebooted all.
Redid the setup and no error messages in any of the event viewers - they are
all information messages saying successful whatevers.
DvConn shows error in timeout of security code exchange:
