SetPoint.exe is for the Logitech mouse. I don't believe it is causing a problem, since it didn't show up in tcpdump when I was viewing traffic.
The monitor Visual Basic program I wrote simply uses ICMP, and creates a visual graph, red lines indicating an interruption in the connection. Originally, I was concerned it was a problem with my connection, which it turned out not to be.
I can email you a traceroute, as I prefer not to post it here.
And for others reading this thread, here is where you can find all of the Windows programs that are loading in background, those pesky TSR's.

Both the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hives have the following path to check: \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In the win.ini, a legacy file, there may also be TSR's under the run parameter. Run sysedit.exe and look for Run=
Typically, what I do when I am ready to launch Aces High, I first open the task manager and kill anything not needed, such as AltDesk.exe, a multiple desktop manager.
I am a minimalist from the days of the 640K base memory limitation, when a 16K MS Mouse driver kept a DOS game from running, because it required 6t05K of base memory all to itself!
