localhost ports

[Rynhardt P Kruger]

Hi,

Thanks for the replys. I think I solved it now.

The hosts.allow and hosts.deny files was empty, but when I looked at the
hosts file, I found that my ip address of localhost was set to ::1. I
then changed it to 0.0.0.0.
I wonder how it could have been change to that funny ip address.

Take care,
Rynhardt

ps: Just as I wanted to send you this message, my mail system 
complained about my IP address so I set it to 127.0.0.1.
