Hi, Thanks for the replys. I think I solved it now. The hosts.allow and hosts.deny files was empty, but when I looked at the hosts file, I found that my ip address of localhost was set to ::1. I then changed it to 0.0.0.0. I wonder how it could have been change to that funny ip address. Take care, Rynhardt ps: Just as I wanted to send you this message, my mail system complained about my IP address so I set it to 127.0.0.1.
