Well, I used a "kludge" method to start the backend.
I restarted the backend settings application, then exited it and clicked the button to restart the backend.
I waited, and waited, then restarted the frontend application...

I'll try to re-read the 3:52pm message_s_ from Eric Sharkey and Stephen P. Villano,
but right now, I just do not see a fix.
Should I assign the static IP of 192.168.0.200 in the BackEnd Settings?
(FFI, see my posting from 1:44pm.)
