I've just tried to use sprime v19 under Debian 2.1 (kernel 2.2.12) and
also get the following error message immediately following 'mprime -c':
^^^^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------
Updating user information on the server
ERROR 2250: Server unavailable
The FAQ at http://www.entropia.com/ips/faq.html may have more information.

Pinging entropia.com:
----------------------------------------
PING entropia.com (207.104.25.155): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 207.104.25.155: icmp_seq=0 ttl=110 time=591.7 ms

--- entropia.com ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 20% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 533.9/567.5/602.7 ms
-----------------------------------------
Also the same with IP numbers. It seems that the connection
error may not be caused by network or DNS configuration errors. v18
connects without any problems on the same machine.
My /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
-----------------------------------------
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
hosts: files dns
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: db files
-----------------------------------------
'/etc/host.conf' file:
-----------------------------------------
order hosts,bind
multi on
-----------------------------------------
Any suggestions?
