Try a different build or machine and see if it works there, it's terribly fickle.

Authentication is good - I tested with a Retreive Connection. The only thing that looks out of order is in the "Details" section of the Data Connections box (where you add, modify, etc). For the Context connection it shows "XML file: Context3." I deleted and re-added the connection twice and it keeps incrementing the "XML file:" field. The file is named "Context.xml". We do have a firewall but again I am able to connect. Sorry to post the same question but I’ve gone over your list many times and everything seems right but it doesnt retrieve any names.
