Check your network configuration (netstat -nr). talk always worked on FBSD, the 1st thing that cpomes to mind is your default gateway. Also, look for a line similar to: 194.179.130.1 127.0.0.1 UGH 2 76803 lo0 - - so that requests for your own machine don't go to the network and use the loopback instead. This problem belongs to -questions mailing list. Bye, -- # $Id: .signature,v 1.12 1995/08/14 12:10:54 piero Exp $ Piero Serini Via Giambologna, 1 <Piero@Free.IT> I 20136 Milano - ITALY
