If all the other DNS-related suggestions don't work out for you, it's always possible that your Linux distributions ships with Extended Congestion Notification switched on. I have noticed that prevents me talking to *.sun.com. To check if it's switched on, do: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn If it's '1', it's switched on; '0', it's switched off. If it is switched on, to turn it off, do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn OTOH, it's probably nothing to do with that. I can't see any vendor switching it on by default as it causes problems with too many firewalls... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
