Hi, I had a lot of trouble getting the UniServer running on my winXP SP2 machine, I kept getting the 'cannot reassign socket' error (or something similar). That's untill I saw this post: I stopped Skype and voilá, it worked :-) I just wanted to add this to this thread for posterity and future reference. Perhaps it is good to add this to the readme file and/or the FAQ here? Thanks :-) Herko XOOPS.org project manager
