Uwe, I found a tip on your http://ringlord.com/links.html page, that mentioned a "/etc/hosts file or its windows equivalent". I tracked the the Windows equivalent down. It is a file named "hosts" (no extension name) in the \windows directory. Microsoft includes a sample file named "hosts.sam" in the \windows directory. I copied the file "hosts.sam" to one named "hosts." and then added the line: "216.200.107.162 gplrank.ringlord.com" to the bottom of "hosts", saved to disk, and get through fine now to GPLrank. Thought you might want to add that info to your page... Chris.
