[Dxspider-support] RESOLVED: Help request for FreeBSD install

[Howard Nurse]

Dirk, I've resolved the issue with starting DX-Spider.  It turns out it was 
indeed related to IPV6 as handled in the /etc/hosts file.  There was an 
entry of ::1  localhost, which, I've learned, is the localhost for IPV6.  I 
commented it out and all is well.  (Moving it to second in the list after 
the IVP4 localhost didn't help.)

Thank you and W1NR + F8ARR for setting me on the correct path.

73,

Howard W6HN
