Yep.

When the backend starts, you should see lines similar to these in

After a fresh reboot:
...CoreContext serverpool.cpp:407 (listen) Listening on TCP 127.0.0.1:6543
...CoreContext serverpool.cpp:407 (listen) Listening on TCP [::1]:6543

Those are the only "6543"s in the log.  There are otherwise identical
messages for ports 6544, 6554, and 6549.

Yep.

Yep: inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Really appreciating the help, Bill - thanks for your time and patience!
