In another language, but you should get the gist of gift-setup from it ...

AFTER CONFIGURING ALL THE STUFF i opened the apollon and found the following info in it:
....................
Connection error
An unhandled error was returned when trying to open a connection with the giFT daemon, which is responsible for connecting to the various networks. The reported error was:
Operation not permitted (1)
.................................................. .....
i checked the stuff via giftd... and following was the result....

[muhammad@c199b ~]$ giftd
*** GIFT-FATAL: Failed to load interface subsystem

NOTE:
There may be another giFT daemon running on this host. Check to see if the
interface port (0) is currently in use by another process.

*** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with the -v command line switch.[muhammad@c199b ~]$ giftd -v

Take a look through this thread for ideas. You have your firewall turned off?

Sure it's possible. We were trying to see if the firewall or port was an issue by turning it off temporarily. Make sense?
