sorry ... I forgot to add: 1. mozilla is configured for direct connection - no proxy. 2. DNS in the linux box points to the router which forwards back to the ISP DNS (seems to get auto-configured and I haven't changed it. Wouldn't know what to change it to ...)
Problem is exactly the same in other browsers (I forget the name of the other one installed -not at home right now ...) -- Daniel McBrearty Electronics and Software Engineering http://danmcb.sdf-eu.org/eng/index.cgi
