Hey Mark -

Yep - you"re probably right... I read that to mean he got an active statement saying "over the max of 30 hops", not thinking about just the boilerplate title line...

In thinking about this problem, I guess we should have expected DNS to return OK, since 2x4"s original message said the error was "timed out" not "page cannot be found" or the throwback to a general search engine.

2x4 - are you by chance running a proxy server or filtering service - like Dan"s Guardian or Squid or Wingate or anything like that?? What antivirus and firewall do you use? Are you running Windows XP? Have you ever had any trouble with malware or viruses??

A lot of malware these days tries to "filter" where you go on the Internet and redirect you to their own sites, instead of where you want to go.

Also, you are talking Internet Explorer, aren"t you?? If so, you might "manage add-ons" and/or try installing Firefox and trying it - since malware add-ons can also hijack web addresses - or at least try to "check in" with their own websites everytime you go somewhere...

Howard
