Hmm.. I just did an experiment.
I had it so that my talk daemon was disabled in inetd on my linux
server. It would give me
this when I attempt to talk to another machine:
[Error on read from talk daemon : Connection refused (111)]
This seems to be the same error you had, correct ?
Is in.ntalkd enabled in your systems inetd.conf ? This appears to be
the daemon needed to talk to external machines.
When I got the 111 error, in.ntalkd was disabled.
