Unknown error encountered when authenticating

I've been been receiving an error as below when trying to connect to our windows CE device with the smart device authentication utility (sdauthutil):

Unknown error occurred while prepping deviceSystem.FormatException:Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)
at System.Int16.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider)
at Microsoft.SDAuthUtil.Form1.TCPFileFromDevice(String localFileName)
at Microsoft.SDAuthUtil.Form1.DoPrepDevice()

The same device and ethernet connection works fine with evc++ and cemgrc. Being a parsing error I tried changing the IP address to that on another unit that works (while that unit was network isolated), to no effect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
ralph
 
More info. The PC runs Win2000 PRO. I have a similar PC-device connection working with a WinXP PRO computer.
