Lines: 20 Message-ID: <531mt8$8ho@uuneo.neosoft.com> Reply-To: conrads@neosoft.com (Conrad Sabatier) NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.165.134 My X has been running just fine for quite some time now, until yesterday, when it suddenly refused to startup (socket connection failures). I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of (perhaps I did, inadvertently somehow). Anyway, what's really strange is that it finally started working again, after I started up ppp from the shell. I know it sounds crazy, but I thought, "Well, if it's a tcp problem, maybe firing up ppp will smooth things out", and it did! Can somebody tell me what the heck is going on, or point me to a source for some info? I'm very weak on networking, TCP/IP, etc. Thanks! -- Conrad Sabatier | conrads@neosoft.com | Eschew obfuscation. http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads |
