Re: REPOST: Guru Challenge

You don't see how you can't seem to just accept that you didn't help me from
even YOUR last post?

> My first *suggestion* to him was about hardware. That's true.

It took you 4 messages to "let go" of your "hardware" suggestion after
bickering with me about my specs. when I had told you hardware was ruled
out.

No, actually what ticked me off what what I've been telling you all along
and what you continue to do right now, which is put words in my mouth and
come to assumptions that aren't true. Don't believe me? Just read what you
just wrote.

And, where exactly in that bit of wisdom is a suggestion of something to
look at? This is the point, just because you said there are certain
characteristics to networked environments where the names of things are
important, doesn't translate into something tangible to look at. Yet, once
again, you just can't stand to be told that your advice wasn't what led me
to my solution.

Correct because there were no other applications running on localhost to
look at and "check your TCP/IP stacks" is again vauge and doesn't lead me to
anything specific to check. It wasn't until after I mentioned the hosts
file did you start trumpeting how you were right. It's easy to say you were
right, when you are saying things like, you've got a networking problem,
you've got a hardware problem or you've got an image problem.

Not with the vauge information you were slinging.

It feels so good to be right Juan, doesn't it?
