Check your /etc/hosts.deny, it's probably set to ALL: PARANOID. PARANOID does reverse lookups for incoming connection's hostnames, and rejects them if they don't resolve. I'd check that first... to test, comment out that line in hosts.deny. -- Josh 6B21489A | GnuPG ID/Fingerprint | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 61F0 6138 BE7B FEBF A223 E9D1 BFE1 2065 6B21 489A
