Thank you for the help! I was away for awhile and just got back to this.

I didn't have Java 1.6 as the default. I corrected that but still couldn't connect so I decided to uninstall everything and do it over. After I re-installed Java 6, then LPE 5.6.2, and then the fix all was good. (:

Thanks again. You are a lifesaver.
