I do find it curious that the same behavior exhibited by both Firefox and Konqueror -- two independent applications that, as far as I know, do not share any elements. If they do share e.g. a dll, I suppose that would finger the shared file.
I have seen the other page instead of error, but that has nothing to do with browsers. The trick is that if DNS query should give error my provider redirects browser to their advertising page. The same happens if their DNS server has no answer (guess: it times out), I get the same. I was thinking about how they do that. Probably they use proxy that is replacing failed DNS query with adds. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
