Oh, brother.  Yep, that was it!  Jeez, I hate it when I miss something 
simple like that.  Thanks!

When I'm done with thing (hopefully this weekend, so that I can install my 
new server at home) I'll make it available.  I think it should help those 
who are just trying to set up a server without spending weeks learning all 
of the in's and out's.

Thanks again!
