Hello,<br>
<br>
Honestly I am not a internet specialist. But as far I know, there can<br>
be a change on the computer that causes that redirection to the<br>
mandrake website. It should work as follows: The browser is calling<br>
the webadress that the user wanted. Then the browser looks on a<br>
nameserver for the IP behind that address. That should be the moment,<br>
where mandrake changes this called webadress and redirect to its own<br>
webpage.<br>
<br>
David, try that out: establish an internet connection, look what<br>
nameserver is shown in the /etc/resolv.conf that should be the<br>
nameserver given by your internet provider<br>
Perhaps that will bring us a step further. In my opinion the<br>
redirection is done on your computer and there should be a solution<br>
for that. I will look, what I can find on the internet about this.<br>
And stay in contact with us, I have sometimes discussed weeks via a<br>
mailing list until somebody found a solution ;).<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Christian<br>
