[Haskell-cafe] Problem running the ping example from "Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell"

hello I am trying out the examples in Chapter 14 of the book, and was able to install and build the parconc-examples package fine. However when I try running the (very first example) ping program I get the following error: ping.exe: bind: failed (Cannot assign requested address (WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL)) It appears that the failure is in the main function: distribMain (\_ -> master) Main.__remoteTable Any ideas? thanks PS I am running Haskell Platform 7.10.2-a on Windows 7
