It looks like its trying to dynamically bind to a port on localhost, but it hard coded 9999 as the port number and somebody already has that port. So, it fails and never tries another port. You should use 'sudo lsof -i | grep 9999' to see who has that port and consider shutting down that process. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Hi!!!!! As soon as I read your first paragraph i realized the problem. I didn't realise that PyPE wanted port 9999 but as it happens this computer is running apt-proxy and I can tell you that without running lsof. I went to pype on sourceforge and downloaded the source, it doesn't need compiling or installing just execute the python script and it works really well. Thank you very much for your insight. </BODY> </HTML>
