I was out of town when you first asked about this, and was initially unable to reproduce it. However, it does appear that your assessment was correct, but it does not appear that this is naim-specific. When I start up naim, netstat -a -n -o | grep winpid does not show anything (either listening or established). When I /connect, the same netstat now shows a connection ESTABLISHED with AOL's servers, and two LISTENING sockets on seemingly random ports (one binded to 127.0.0.1, the other allowing connections from anywhere). However, Cygwin's telnet utility appears to behave identically on my system. If I start telnet and run netstat -a -n -o | grep winpid, it does not show anything. If I enter "open n.ml.org 80" then immediately I see something like: TCP 0.0.0.0:4705 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2780 TCP 127.0.0.1:4718 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2780 TCP 192.168.1.101:4705 24.161.40.144:80 ESTABLISHED 2780 These LISTENING sockets stay open for the duration of the connection, but the 127.0.0.1 port changes after every packet I send out (i.e. it will change from 4718 to a higher number after every command I type). I am not familiar enough with how the networking code operates, so I am not sure what the impact of this might be. It looks like this may be a known issue, referenced at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00947.html, so I do not believe it is a major problem. However, I will defer if another Cygwin maintainer has any words of wisdom. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ "Murphy's Law is recursive.
