Thanks for the response.
This doesn't seem to do anything until I reboot. Once I reboot, it causes problems. hddtemp (which communicates with 127.0.0.1 doesn't start and I can't connect to my network).
Any idea of what might be going on? Also, how do I start these changes without rebooting. I tried rebooting the portmap daemon but this didn't do anything.
Let me know if I can provide more information.
