Yes wwwoffle was installed (2.7b RPM). What I did wrong was to type "wwwoffle -start" instead of "wwwoffled -c wwwoffle.conf" in order to start the daemon. (Forgive me if its a stupid mistake - I'm a newbie to Linux.) Now I've started it and put it in online mode and configured Konqueror for localhost:8080, but when I go to any website I get the following error message: Your request for URL http://www.linux.org/ failed because Cannot open the HTTP connection to www.linux.org port 80; [Name Lookup Non-Authoritative Answer Host not found]. Please tell me how to correct it. -- regards Johann Kok [EMAIL PROTECTED]
