Already set the exception for ootp18.exe in the firewall....I'll try shutting it down completely and trying it...
edit 1:

Both shut off.... still cannot connect :-/
edit 2: Just on a lark--- I uninstalled and reinstalled in default directory...didn't help either
edit 3: Just installed on laptop---no problem connecting on this device... :-/
I cannot seem to work out why the laptop will connect, but the desktop won't
