I finally got it working. It may have been any or a combination of a few things:

1) I had never completely un-installed Bonjour as I thought I had. I had re-installed it over an existing install. This time I un-installed it properly and on the new install I ended up with a desktop icon and a folder in the start menu, which I never had before.

2) I downloaded a Java upgrade that had been sitting ignored in my taskbar for a while.

3) I unchecked "Allow Anonymous Sharing" and just left "Enable Sharing" checked.

Whatever, it works now. I converted a text document to epub and was able to upload and read it. The formatting was pretty good. I also uploaded a pdf (full of tables) which didn't turn out so well.

All this on my Vista Desktop. Now to try my XP/Vista laptop.

Thanks again for the help dordale.
