You were absolutely right! Thank you very much! When I upgraded from itos 2006 28-8 to 39-14 (the fist update for the 2006 edition) I copied over many files from my backup. My /etc/hosts started with ... 127.0.0.1 Nokia770-26 localhost ... instead of 127.0.0.1 Nokia770-39 localhost <== 39! ;-) Next time I reinstall files from my backup after a firmware upgrade I will double check! Promissed! :-) Regards Krischan
