Beta expired; now nothing will download

Using Windows Stanza. Beta version expired Feb 3; so I downloaded Stanza again from Lexcycle's website as instructed. Now, when I tap "Shared Books" on my iPhone and then my laptop's name, Stanza churns and waits, but no books appear even though one is loaded in the Stanza screen on my laptop. After about a minute I see a box in the middle of the iPhone screen which says "Catalog Error. timed out". Yes, I have Enable Sharing checked in the laptop Stanza screen under Tools. Yes, my Bonjour is working perfectly, so I did not reload Bonjour when I reloaded Stanza on my laptop. I have tried short books, long books, URLs, a .txt file... nothing works.

Any advice? Thanks.

Fixed it

Hi Emily...
Here's what worked;
I figured the weak link between Stanza Windows and Stanza iPhone has to be Bonjour. I went to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs and removed Bonjour completely. Then I downloaded and installed Bonjour afresh from www.apple.com.
Now Stanza works properly again.
Thanks for your help.
