Talk fires, it looks like it is beginning to initiate when I get a message on the top of the screen saying: [Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)] What does this mean? If I try from a distant site to 'talk' to my host, the talk requests appear on my host! ... unfortunately, if I try to 'talk' back to connect up, I get the same error message. Clues? Jay Yanek
