yes, it is the router address. The router points to a DNS server which whois says is in Taiwan, which surprises me as I'm in Belgium. Makes me wonder if it is getting a DNS server from my ISP at all, maybe it isn't and is using a hardcoded default. Anyhow I'll try your suggestion - thanks.

If you post a 2 line reply to a 10 line quote to them, you get a rather snippy request to prune the quoting. I can't say I disagree with them, really.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
