Yeah, go into File, Options (I believe...been a while since I used
winsock) and make sure that the IP number is set to 0.0.0.0. If its
not, winsock will insist on using its IP number, and your PM will insist
on the IP number it wants....ie, endless negotiation and eventually they
give up. If it's not 0.0.0.0, set it that way, and *EXIT* trumpet. If
you do not exit, then it will not be saved and will work this once, but
when the person starts it up again later, it will be back to the IP
number that was in there to begin with.
