I have Mozilla, Konqueror, lynx, and Galeon on my linux computer. I want to
keep IE for the XP box, althoug I wish they would hurry up with that IE
service pack that will finally offer to block popups and do some of the other
neat stuff that Mozilla has long since embraced. (I swear, I really think it
takes a few sticks of dyanamite up their asses over there at MS to make them
actually give people what they want and what they need. They sure are slow
about this in general. <g>) This is not such a terrible issue, to not be able
to use the www prefix on my LAN to access my site, it is more of a buring
desire to learn what is actually going on here. What does this statement
acutally mean, HGA?

"From what, or where, IE should get/read 'www' part?"

This always had worked before on my LAN with IE when I used a bridged
ethernet ADSL conection, now with PPPoE, it just "isn't the same" anymore.
Lynx for win32 actually does not have a problem with the www part, althoug
lynx does seem to "try harder" to find a URL, it will do quite a bit of
guessing and trying if you put an invalid URL in the goto line.

Hey thanks for jumping in there, HGA, I really do appeciate the feedback,
suggestions, and comments.
