Hi everyone,

Can't get this thing to work on a crossover LAN. Pings
OK, route etc. I've edited the /etc/hosts file every
which way. Currently it's


127.0.0.1       sarawak localhost
192.168.0.2     xlan yeti  
# IPV6 versions of localhost and co
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

The other PC is similar but with the address of the
present machine, natch. 

Turning on debug elicits the following:

Servname not supported for ai_socktype.

But it's not completely non-functional, iptraf reveals
a burst of activity when the connection is attempted.

This should work. It worked with the same PCs a few
months ago before I wiped the drives and started over.

-Maxim
