This means, your firewall doesn't like connects over ipv6 from localhost to localhost. Maybe you should check your ipfw settings for ip6.

Port 80 is usually a web-server, so there should a process like httpd, apxs or sth. else running. Maybe you have a tiny httpd which could be ran using inetd. Check this in that case, too. > So., what's the matter here? I'm happy to post more details if required > (as in firewall rules and such). Thanks to all those that might reply! Could be useful see your firewall rules (ipv4+ipv6), corresponding settings in /etc/rc.conf and your inetd.conf and the output of "find / -name telnetd" Good luck Jens > > Stacey > -- > Stacey Roberts B.Sc.
