Neither could I.

I checked <ListeningPort>64471</ListeningPort> at the begining but  
after reading your email I checked shared.xml again and found:
   <Port>0</Port>
I can't imagine that being incorrect.  I also found:
   <DisablePort80>0</DisablePort80>
I changed it to 1 and that fixed the problem.  I had never noticed  
that before.
I checked other machines and it doesn't exist so I guess I could just  
erase it but it is working now.

Thanks for sending me back to shared.xml,
