He's given me some things to try. I'm not sure about that, though, since I can ping names and it seems to resolve OK. He suggests I look at /etc/resolv.conf . So I'll try that soon.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>He also suggested ipv6 might be the problem -- it was. Not that I know what ipv6 is. Going into Firefox, entering about:config and finding the line</DIV><DIV>network.dns.disableIPv6 </DIV><DIV>changing the setting to true. Then Firefox works fine.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>(Interestingly, on the MacOSX side, that line in Firefox is already set true.)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>He's also told me how to disable ipv6 globally so I'll do that too.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers, Mike.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>---------------------------------------------------------------</DIV><DIV> Mike Hore <A href="mailto:mike_hore@aapt.net.au">mike_hore@aapt.net.au</A></DIV><DIV>---------------------------------------------------------------</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
