Why does using 127.0.0.1 work? CVSNT has been IPV6 compatible since long before is was properly supported in Windows.... I used to run an ipv6 version of the cvsnt.org repository for a while. XP isn't ipv6 compatible by default (you have to install it using the network control panel) but loopback is loopback (even if you call it ::1 instead) and it won't affect the behaviour either way anyway. 'localhost' is 127.0.0.1 always (the ipv6 one is called 'ip6-localhost' in case you were wondering) and should be pretty much hardcoded to return that... in XP Pro and above it's in the drivers/etc/hosts file in the standard distribution. CVSNT actually uses 127.0.0.1 directly unless you override it, so setting 'localhost' in the control panel on XP home isn't a good idea without first fixing the broken hosts file. Tony
