Glad I could help a little. Don't stay up too late goofing on IRC! The real problem is that your machine name/ip address don't match what is in your DNS. If you are not running named, then check your /etc/hosts file and your /etc/resolve.conf. The first time you did the xhosts command with your machine name, X couldn't find a corresponding ip address, so the connection was not allowed. You'll be better off using 127.0.0.1 for your ip than a machine name. Gene To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
