Problem with socket timeouts.

[Dru]

I've managed to get it going now. Thanks for the help.
I purged the debian packages, and removed all previous config files and 
downloaded tar's.
I suspect it could of been one of the configure options on compiling 
causing it not working or something else.
I'm not completely sure. But it works now.
