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.
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
