Actually the empty string passed for the host means INADDR_ANY, which does not really make sense for the client. On my Win-XP system, the client fails with socket.error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address") For the loop-back adapter, 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' should work. -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
