fsockopen failed with permission denied error...

Hi Everyone! Sample code below... --snip-- $fp = fsockopen("www.cnn.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); --snip-- I get the error message, permission denied along with 13. When I read the bugs.php.net and found out that I need to add the "@" to it so I did this.. --snip-- $fp = @fsockopen("www.cnn.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); --snip-- I get a different error message, it said ... --snip-- Addr family not supported by protocol (66) --snip-- Does anyone know what it meant and what is the workaround to it? Thanks, FletchSOD
