Greetings...

	I have solved my PPP problems, and now my 386BSD machine will
talk correctly to my SCO gateway to the Internet (using vjmode old).

	But now I have another problem, which I feel must be a simple
question of TCP/IP configuration files.

	If I ftp to my neighbour (ftp rcogate), a connection gets
established, I can log on, and I can do "cd pub"...  But whenever
I try to do "ls" or "get file", all I get is:

	ftp: bind: Can't assign requested address

I'm a bit confused by this error!?!

	I also get a similar error if I try to "talk clip@rcogate".

	On the other hand, if I "ftp localhost", everything works fine.

	Is this a nameserver issue?  (I don't have a named running, but
my /etc/hosts file is set-up properly)

	Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

	Denis, fortin@zap.uniforum.qc.ca
