Thanks for the rapid response to my query telnet localhost 80 gets response that connection was refused to ::1... so it tried 127.0.0.1 and connected OK. So what is ::1... ?
netstat -ap gave me lots of information I could not make sense of. One line was STREAM CONNECTED ... 1030/mozilla-bin SuSEfirewall stop got a command not found response. On further trials found /etc/hosts used 127.0.0.2 for linux.local, thought that was the problem and changed it to 127.0.0.1. Did not help. I also have a problem (not related) that on shutdown I get a message "vgchamge-no volume groups found". The same message occurs on booting, and the machine also says shutdown was not completed properly, and checks drives. I am using a laptop with pcmcia card. That gave some trouble at start but is now working well, but I dont know what I changed to fix it. Ed Ed Hitchcock 9 Fulton Ave Christchurch 8001 355 7708 025 325 481
