Hi Is '111' the IP it is trying to connect on?
If so it is an invalid IP. If the IP is valid how are you trying to connect?

Someone suggested that the problem is because the server has 2 nics (2 ips set up). Does anyone know a solution for this? --- Peter Lovatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > Like the look of the way its taking shape. > > I am not sure if there is existing faq software > (I've checked sourceforge > and freshmeat without much luck) we could use, or if > someone can do a better > job :) but I have a content management system > written, together with a lot > of the search functionality needed for the faq.
