I only have one problem with Talk. It doesn't work when I'm not connected 
to the internet. It gives:

"Couldn't bind to control socket : Cannot assign requested address (99)"

I can make it work by modifying my hosts file and putting in the line:

127.0.0.1 localhost marinc
158.152.32.47 marinc.demon.co.uk marinc

but it stops me connecting to my IP provider.

Anyone with the same problem who sorted it out?

Cheers, Tim.
