Im getting this error and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Tried from scratch 3 times. Just trying to get the server configured and started up for the first time. I've been reading for hours trying to figure this out with no luck. Please point me in the right direction so I can work through this. Thanks

I just can't find where this error is pulling from.

Thank you TinCAnTech that got me passed the error and on to the next. I really appreciate the help. One darn capital letter! Gave me hours of great learning and researching time though.

Just wanted to let you know I finally got the server up and a client connected. Been working on it on and off for about a year banging my head. I feel like a million bucks now. Also feel like I have a much better understanding of the process now as well. I think Ill leave it setup for a bit before I tear it down to do over again to be sure I know what I'm doing but I wanted to thank you for your help TinCanTech. Very Much appreciated.
