P.S. I get this similiar description of what the
output said when looking at the
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2006-01/0123.html
link.

--snip--
* About to connect() to post.bgnett.no port 443
* Trying 194.54.96.133... Bind to local port 22222
failed, trying next
* Local port: 22223
--snip--

Seem like maybe I'm not the only one with a problem.
