Has anyone ever seen the error : "sendTo: Operation not permitted. wrote localhost 64 chars, ret=-1" Or "sendto: Network is unreachable. wrote hostname.bla.bla 64 chars, ret=1" ? when pinging to localhost or hostname ifconfig gives: lo: Inet addr 127.0.0.1, Bcast 127.255.255.255, mask 255.255.255.0 route gives: localnet, * , 255.255.255.0 , U , 0 , 0 , 1 , lo With regards,dodjee
