Unfortunately, sometimes the brute force approach--deleting everything 
in the configuration to start with an empty/clean configuration--is the 
quickest approach.  Often, figuring out exactly what's misconfigured is 
far more challenging than redoing a configuration from scratch.

That said, I'm glad you got it working.  Enjoy.
