If this is successful when you are blacked out from internet, then your service provider is not blocking your http and most probably your browser is at fault (because you are able to access port 80 from a different application). If your telnet on port 80 is also blocked, then there is some problem with your modem or service provider. In my opinion, service provider will never block any traffic simply because the OS is Linux, so the second possibility is very rare.(I am assuming that "ping www.google.com" is successful when you are blacked out) Regards Muneer CH -- Imagination is more important than knowledge... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
