Hi, AFAIK I never changed the file in /etc/default. And even if I did so, the package installation should not just abruptlly stop, some sort of problem resolution shall be presented to the user. I had 0.0.0.0, and minissdpd was not happy with it. Maybe it has been fixed since then, since I changed to my wlan interface. Will test again with 0.0.0.0 Regards, Geoffrey - - - - - -
