Thanks, Chad, for your response (the only one so far). I just had a
try of your way, by setting the userId to 'nobody', GroupID to
'nogroup', but still couldn't get a response from a remote machine.
It keeps giving the same error message. When I do a
telnet my.host.name 80
I get
Trying 128.184.81.65 ...
(after a long while)
telnet: connect: No route to host
while if I do a
telnet my.host.name 8000 (say, a port not configure)
I get (immediately)
telnet: connect: connection refused
It looks as if port 80 on my machine is not recognized by the network.
I hope someone out there will enlighten me on this.
Seems I'm still stuck, but thanks very much for your info all the
same.
