That's what I get when I'm connected. It's something with the ip-up and ip-down scripts, I guess... Here's my /etc/hosts: socrates provas$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost socrates loghost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # (added automatically by netbase upgrade) ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts With this, w3m doesn't find localhost... Because telnet localhost 80 doesn't work. Are you running potato or woody? TThis is woody, here.
