Nope, shouldn't matter. As a matter of fact, I've got Network DDE DSDM started but Network DDE is not started or enabled. It's set to "manual" but isn't currently running. On the other hand, Network DDE DSDM is ALWAYS running on my PC. Reboot and see if there's any progress.
OK, rebooted and I'm back. So far so good. Think I'll open up another window and do some surfing to see what happens.
