I began experimenting a little with the network configuration on my FreeBSD 2.0.5 installation, and ever since, when I reboot, xdm fails to run properly (or more appropriately, not at all). if I try 'startx' or 'X', it says the server is running already on the console. The xdm error file says the following: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors file: TRANS(SocketCreateListener): failed to bind listener TRANS(SocketINETCreateListener): TRANS(SocketCreateListener) () failed TRANS(MakeALLCOTSServerListeners) failed to craete listener for tcp I beleive I have only been modifying the /etc/sysconfig and /etc/networks files, but I thought I returned them to normal since I neglected to make a backup..... Can anyone help? Also, is there any documentation available on setting up FreeBSD for network ability?
