Hi All;

A few weeks ago, A friend wrote about how to use shortcuts on
Lynx/Netscape. For example: in your hosts file put this in:

199.184.169.70  www.linuxgazette.com  lj

Now I should be able to just type in "lj" to get to the Linux Gazette web
page. BUT, in stead I'm getting this error:

***************************************************************************
                                     ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

     _________________________________________________________________

   While trying to retrieve the URL: <A HREF=3D"http://lj/"><A HREF=3D"http:/=
/lj/</A">http://lj/</A</A>>

   The following error was encountered:
     * DNS name lookup failure

   The system returned:
    DNS Domain 'lj' is invalid: Host not found (authoritative).

   This means that:
    The named host probably does not exist.

****************** end of Error listing ************************

I'm running SuSE 4.4.1 (kernal 2.0.29) and my ISP is running a SuSE Apache
server. My friend states that it works on his system, but I don't think
that he has a proxy. Could my problem be with the proxy or what does=20
anyone think?

Thanks for your help!
