Or do I roll back to 2.4.2? that's not a Python error, so that won't help. check your proxy configuration. most likely, your new machine is set up to route all requests via a remote proxy. (on windows, you'll find the proxy configuration under "Internet Options" - "Connections" - "LAN Settings". before you do anything else, make sure "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" is checked) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
