Hello, Just wanted to let you all know that I solved the problem. I had this line in rc.conf ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff" I changed it to ifconfig_lo0_alias1="same as above" I had to put a 1 after alias instead of the 0 Thanks everyone who helped Brian Pontz Windows 95 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition.
