Problem with LHOST on exploits.

[professor0110 at gmail.com (Professor 0110)]

You guys have been great. Thanks for patiently answering my [noob]
questions. :)

One more thing, though.

How am I supposed to allow my victim to initiate a connection with me?

Also, I receive errors such as these:

[*] Handler binding to LHOST 0.0.0.0
[-] Bind failed on 0.0.0.0
[*] Handler binding to LHOST x.x.x.x (my external IP address)
[-] Bind failed on x.x.x.x
[-] Exploit failed: Cannot assign requested address - bind(2)

Or another one where it says the connection times out to target:port

Help on this will be much appreciated. :)
