Candace,
Thanks for the reply. I enabled debugging and ran another test. The only thing I got in the Event Viewer is the same message as before.

Server Name: JOAN-LAPTOP
I'm not clear on what you mean by "Is your localhost open to receiving posts via the internet?". I have an internet connection, but the site http://cc.local is not a live domain name. This is my development site on the local drive of my laptop. I have an entry in my local hosts file that resolves cc.local (portal alias) to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Could this setup be what's causing the problem? Is there some IIS or other log file that shows whether paypal is posting to my laptop?
