Thanks... Are they on your local net ? If not where are they ? What does your routing table look like (netstat -rn) ? The errors are because your machine didn't get an ARP reply - do you have a situation where you have a router between your machine & these sites, but have your routing table saying "default myaddr" where myaddr is your own address (rather than the router) ? *More info please* ! -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
