The hosts file on all my freebsd systems looks like this: ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost
I just tried removing the first entry. After doing so I still cannot connect to the relevant port on 127.0.0.1. However, if I then stopped and restarted the ferret server I was then able to connect to the relevant port on 127.0.0.1. So it seems that if that ::1 entry is present in /etc/hosts the ferret server will somehow bind to that instead of 127.0.0.1 But before I permanently remove that ::1 entry I'll have to see if I can learn more about it to ensure that removing it doesn't cause any unwanted side effects. - cheers Francois On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 6:24 PM, Francois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The hosts file on all my freebsd systems looks like this: > ::1 localhost > 127.0.0.1 localhost > > I just tried removing the first entry.
