If it fails, use other IPs. If it works,       your resolv file has a problem.                     >       > This is both with and without "sudo", my tests last night were without.       >       > Meanwhile Firefox is finding whatever it wants with no problems at all.       > This gave me another idea, I appended #80 to the host name and it is       > finding the host. Back to the router configuration.              Firefox by default uses its own solving engine and servers.              --       Cheers,        Carlos E.R.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
