What do you get from wherever you are trying to connect to the port (e.g. telnet). Does it connect, or fail to connect? Note that (as others have said) if you are trying to intercept data from an existing socket connection, this is not the way to do it. (This will let you use a port that another process has already claimed, and accept new connections to it). =Tony.Meyer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
