Whenever I try to talk on my machine to another user, I get the message: [Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (69)] I didn't used to have this problem, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance. ira -- bye Ira Lee iradx7 at pawl.rpi.edu ira at iear.arts.rpi.edu (518) 276-IRAS (718) 279-4814
