I think I figured out why my talkd is not working too cool - the contents of my hosts file has changed, to 127.0.0.1 localhost 196.7.74.174 chain.iafrica.com and my machine is called chain.iafrica.com If I remove the second line and add chain.iafrica.com to the first line it works fine. ANy ideas on how to sort this out ? I am on a dial-up with a static ip, btw. --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ Pipex-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002
