well, it DOES help (thanks) but seems like kinda stupid. why in the world should KDE care about DNS resolutions ? it affect applications that has nothing to do with communicating to the outside world (koofice, konsole) it makes sense about konqueror, kmail and friends, but not to the other. funny that no log shows anything related to this problem. tal. > > [e] -- ====================================== Amir Tal Owner, Founder Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal Voice: +972-8-9363164 Cell: +972-58-978979 ICQ: 15748705 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.whatsup.org.il ======================================
