I posted my config recently on here, but I don't have the stripped version (without my addresses) handy and I'm short on time at the moment, but I'll post it again if asked. If you do "netstat -a | grep LISTEN" is there anything already using any of the addresses/ports you are trying to assign in the config file? Sounds to me like you have something else running that is using an address you are trying to use with mpd. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
