I didn't try hitting the MENU and changing the group, but I did revert 
to using 127.0.0.1 as the address of the backend.  This seems to have 
cleared up the issue, however, it leaves me unable to run a separate 
frontend.  I may revert to the IP address of the machine and try the 
suggested change, but only after I convince my wife the I won't break 
the box again!.

Thanks for the help.
