Well, when I run the program by itself it can tell there's a new update of
the Transfer software, and if I let it then it downloads and installs the
new software, so I'm pretty sure it's connected okay as far as firewalls
are concerned. Having said that, I know *nothing* about how firewalls
work or how to change the settings, or even what to look for to make sure
the settings are corect ... so that's something to bear in mind as well.
As for the BOokport Launcher being in the startup menu, it's not in the
immediate startup menu, but if you go into Programs and type B several
times you eventually come to Book Wizard and the Bookport Transfer
submenus.

First, make sure your firewall is set to allow the transfer program to
access the net. If not it will not work properly because I think it goes
to the net by default to check for updates. When this happened to me I
lost speech for a minute and forgot if the transfer program started or
not. Second make sure bookport launcher is in your startup menu, seems
like it would have to be if you did an install but who knows.
Yesterday I connected the unit and the transfer program didn't start
automatically but when I started it manually things worked fine. Today it
started like it should.
