Toggling wwwoffle offline and online wasn't sufficient, but after a complete reboot (which restarts wwwoffled), wwwoffle started working the first time! I am thrilled with this fine program! Congratualtions Andrew, and thanks! Thanks also to all of you having helped me with this problem, especially Thomas who also found the solution: "MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY" in the main system configuration file must be set to =no and the provider's dns numbers put into /etc/resolv.conf in some other manner than dynamically by pppd, which is the way my SuSE 7.3 was set up. I assume this means that I cannot now use another provider unless I change the dns numbers first manually. >Ports are simply a sort of channel.

Thanks for the basic information. Although I still get these "address already in use" messages, wwwoffle seems to work. I look forward to exploring wwwoffle's capabilities now!
