Troub le? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]<br><br> Thanks for the response. This doesn't seem to do anything until I reboot. Once I reboot, it causes problems. hddtemp (which communicates with 127.0.0.1 doesn't start and I can't connect to my network). Any idea of what might be going on? Also, how do I start these changes without rebooting. I tried rebooting the portmap daemon but this didn't do anything. Let me know if I can provide more information. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
