2) When I try to use the "talk" or "ntalk" commands, I get: Error on read from talk daemon : Connection refused (111)
Ahh, my favorite error…the old talk daemon 111. Bleh.
Let's assume for the sake of sanity that you're using a dynamic IP address.
You'll get that error unless you bother to change your /etc/hosts file every time to match the assigned IP from your provider and then sending the inetd a HUP (kill -1).
If you're using a static IP, just make sure you have /etc/hosts set up properly.
And incidentally, the only time I ever get the 111 refusal anymore is on a machine where it's been expressly disabled (Or they don't even have a talk daemon on the other end).
