Sorry for the noise, but I'm not getting releif anywhere else. I get this java error when trying to use xvbf XRemote Window is enabled _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/iam.wayward4now.net:2 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 atomWmTransientFor = 68 Fatal server error: Could not initialize remote window server I remember being advised on how to turn inet6 off for good, but now I need it back on. <grins> Any Java Guru out there have a clue??
