That normally means, that another process is already using the port. Note that 
you can use any port you want.

That is strange. Can you verify that everything is working if you are not 
connecting to the server? 

The message "initializing USER..." means, that you are correctly connected to 
the server and receive data for the remote user.

The map shows what the server sees. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" means, that the user 
Lee is 
connected to the server you are querying. On pigeons map you can select which 
server you want to observe. If you switch to "o-schroeder.de" while connected 
to pigeons server, you will see "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (the IP of pigeons 
server). That is because my and pigeons server exchange their user data, so 
that both servers see "one world".
That is possibly changing in the future, but that's the way it is atm.

regards,
Oliver
