Hello Ralf!
The hosts file is OK. Here's what telnet outputs:
telnet 127.0.0.1 8888
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
And if I do this:
telnet localhost 8888
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connection failed: Connection timed out
Trying ::1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
So name resolution isn't the problem. It simply seems, that all
connections are blocked somewhere.
Firewall? 'Connection timed out' wouldn't be the error message for a port
nothing is listening to. That would report 'Connection refused'. Timeout
sound suspiciously like some (dumb!) firefwall rule.
Maybe 'sudo iptables -L' could give some insight ...
HTH RalfD
Ping also shows the adress
127.0.0.1, but simply can't receive iany packets from localhost. I
also tried with 127.0.0.1 just to have done it all. :-( Same
difference though.
Thanks and warm regards Julien
