Perhaps the disabling of raw sockets in SP2 is the cause of this problem. Try this. Net stop SharedAccess Then try running the Python code and see if it still crashes. Afterwards you can restart the SharedAccess service.

The result is an exception: socket.error: (10022, 'Invalid argument') I don't have Python 2.3 installed otherwise I would test that too. Neil
i got the same exception, WinXP SP2, Python 2.3.4 . azurIt _______________________________________________________________________ http://www.epi.sk Ekonomicke a pravne informacie - denne aktualizovane.
