Are you permanently connected to a network? If so do you have the proper entries in /etc/hosts? Something along the lines of: this.machines.ip.address thishost.domain thishost loghost 127.0.0.1 localhost If you're not permanently connected to a network your /etc/hosts file should look like: 127.0.0.1 thishost thishost.domain localhost Some other things to do to try and find the problem: 1) Try invoking it like: xemacs -display :0.0 (Note: no host name) 2) Use strace to see where xemacs is hanging. Invoke like: strace xemacs -display mymachine:0.0 Be prepared for lots of output! Of course it may not be hanging, but displaying on whatever IP it is associated with "mymachine". Gary
