Hi, thanks for following up the bug report! I don't know what a valid hostname is and what is not a valid hostname, but I tried to edit my /etc/hosts back and forth without any result. I did not try changing my hostname (I think most normal hostnames do in fact *not* resolve on desktop computer). I reported the bug upstream too myself (notoriously impatient as I am), but I initially reported it to debian since I suspected it was either related to bad configuration of my debian system, or a debian-specific problem. Anyway, here is the response from upstream bug http://gna.org/bugs/?15559 :: --- You are probably another victim of a recent change in Debian squeeze which sets net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 in /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf See e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560044 As a result the server listens on ::1 (IPv6 only), and the client fails to connect to localhost (IPv4). But eventually freeciv should change the way it opens the listening socket(s) so that it works in both configurations. --- HTH and Regards, ulrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
