fsockopen on fc4 problem

Hi there,

I have lampp installed on fedora fc4, everything works ok, however with the
fsockopen (php) it returns with an E_WARNING that there is no route to
host and a false handle is given.
save_mode on or off makes no difference and the firewall is disabled
Is this a known problem, how can i get this function to work?

TIA,
Kees.

No and you should set up a route to the host.

This is very unlikely to be a problem with PHP - try setting up the
connection using netcat and telnet first.

If that works (and I'd be very surprised if it did) then tell us what you
did with the programs to get it to work, and what you did with PHP which
didn't (hostnames, what they resolve to, ports, routing info).

If it doesn't work - go find a friendly OS or networking newsgroup to ask
in.
