The output was: Trying 127.0.0.1... at which point I realized that I had this in /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 cincinnati.com I do this when a site is responsible for annoying browser ads that I want to avoid. Now I actually want some content from that site. I deleted the line from /etc/hosts, and it's fixed. Thanks for providing the critical test, Florian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
