But it's not complaining about the port but the address which surely is 127.0.0.1. I've been advised to check this out. Just for completeness, I'm replying to my own message so that if in the future someone has the same problem. They'll find at least the cause if not the solution. Well, I stopped speech-dispatcher, then asked for the lo interface to be brought up and that fixed it. Somehow, I've broken my debian box from loading the configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. # /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher stop # ifconfig lo up # /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher start Many thanks to all.
