Chuck,
If you are the connecting party, you use an initiator, if you are
waiting to be connected to, use an acceptor. You do not need both at the
same time.
I seem to remember that when I was wondering why certain events were not
happening, the logs showed some errors. Have you looked there?
Also, perhaps your config file and a snippet of the code you are using
to create your initiator would help the list help you?
thx
George
