Cannot update content on clients in SEPM v. 11

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have SEPM v. 11.07101.1056 installed on Windows XP Professional and I have it up and running  for the most part.  However I am unable to update content directly from the SEPM server to my client computers.  I was able to initially add the clients to the server console through the Migration and Deployment Wizard and I know they are communicating with each other because they are listed in the clients tab with a green light indicator.   I can also run scans on the clients from the SEPM server but I cannot update content.  I verified that my Live Update policies were set correctly for both LiveUpdate Settings and LiveUpdate Content.  My Communication settings for clients are also set to download policies and content from the management server in push mode.  As a test I did try selecting "Use a LiveUpdate server" under my LiveUpdate policy settings and I was actually able to download the latest virus definition content to my clients.  I would like to be able to use the management server instead though so I can control it all from the SEPM console.  The SEPM console is also receiving all the latest Symantec content as I verified this in the Show LiveUpdate Downloads tab.    I am just unable to push the updated content to the clients even though they are communicating.  I also tried using a browser to test connectivity to the manager on some of the clients and that test passed.  I ran the SEP Support Tool and I did have one error indicating "no applications are using 's configured port 8005 with a state of 'listen'"  Port 8765 was listed as being in a state of listen for Tomcat sutdown (SemSvc.exe) so I thought this would be a suitable alternate port.   So any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: can you post the sylink log

Below is the information in the sylink file from one of the clients....I took out my IP address and computer name info and just put "IP Address here" and "Computer name here" respectively.

Re: Appoximately how may clients

I have 8 presently in a test group while I try to configure it.  I will eventually have 25 clients in total.  I know XP can only push to 10 clients at a time so I purposely have less than 10 at the moment for testing purposes.

Re: do let know if this link

That worked.  I followed the steps on the link and the clients have updated now via the SEPM server.  Thanks so much for helping on this matter.
