I have similar problem with loclhost and ISDN. When /etc/init.d/isdnutils is started I cannot get netscape to access localhost before Linux has asked both nameservers in resolv.conf which leads to a hang. I have not had these problems with Potato only now when upgrading to woody. I think that there might be a libc6 bug, but I'm not sure. -- Preben Randhol ---------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- iMy favorite editor is Emacs!<ESC>bcwVim<ESC> -- vim best-editor.txt
