   Sorry if this is a dumb question - but I'm new to X installation.
When I run 'xdm -nodaemon' from the prompt, the system sits and writes
errors to the xdm-erorrs file.  The error I'm receiving is : 

Cannot establish tcp listening socket
error (pid 226): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1
Binding TCP socket: Can't assign requested address


Any ideas?

Thanks!
