Most of that is true. However, I found it to be a problem with firefox specifically - in that firefox waits for the 75 second timeout. Forced me to switch to opera :) It looks like it will be fixed in the next version of mozilla, though: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68796 The quickest workaround is to add ::0 ad.doubleclick.com ::0 ad.doubleclick.net to /etc/hosts (not a bad thing to keep in there, really). hth, dan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
