hi,

i remember a <A target="_blank" HREF=http://forums.grohol.com/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=software&Number=444&page=3&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&part=>posting a while back</A> about this same issue. something about "libraries were not compatible with...server's version of the /etc/protocols file" (next to the last post in that thread). so it may be your hosting company.

hope this helps.
