I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0, no network, only uucp and user ppp via a modem. When a dial-up user logs in into my computer via a modem and I wish to talk to him, "talk" would not run, it just says: [Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)] and exits. If you have any ideas what the problem might be, I would be very grateful. BTW, as I do not have a permanent IP address, ppp negotiates it every time when I dial out to my provider, I wrote in the /etc/hosts file something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 vas.tomsk.su vas Is this correct or should I have written something different? What is usually written there if there is no permanent IP address? What other configs should I look into for the solution of my problem? Thanks a lot. --- Victor A.
