Using both web (lynx) and ftp (ftp) programs, I have succeeded in accessing sites using numerical domain (DNS) addresses, but not using addresses with words. What's up? Do I use a different procedure to access domains numerically than verbally? According to the documentation for lynx, the format should be the same. I am typing open ftp.xxxxxxx.com open ftp.xxxxxxx.org open ftp.xxxxxxx.net as appropriate in ftp
and lynx http://www.xxxxxx.com in lynx I also tried referencing specific documents in lynx (i.e. lynx http://www.xxxxxx.com/index.html but evidentally the problem is in finding the server using the ftp command open 204.123.2.4 to access anonymous ftp, or using lynx 204.123.2.4, successfully accessed the specified domain. Whut's up here? I have kernel 2.2.something. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Free instant messaging and more at http://messenger.yahoo.com
