Hello,
some days ago I had a problem with backreferencing from the bibliography [1]. I solved it putting a "\" before problematic characters like "&" or "#". No I have discovered that when running ps2pdf or displaying a postscript the "\" will be printed in the URL. Another user has also reported the problem [3] where someone pointed to the bug no. 449 [4]. The same problems described with footnotes applies also for urls in bibtex. Since I use natbib the solution offered in [5] doesn't help and JabRef wouldn't even accept something like:

URL = {\url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FOSS_Education/Infrastructure#Internet_Connectivity}

My question is therefore:
How can I put in these "problematic" URLs in a manner that I will be able to run both pdflatex & dvips/ps2pdf and get the URLs set like they should be pasted in the browser?

One workaround could be to use hyperref also with ps2pdf ut then long links wouln't be breaken across lines.

Any help is greatly appreciated since I don't really know anymore how to get around this.

Thanks in advance,
Timmie
