No luck. Also the same in O 9.5 and that's kept completely empty. Nothing in urlfilter.ini; nothing anywhere in Windows folder. There's an awful lot of Javascript on that page; there might not be much to see if you had it turned off. JS is on. Trouble is, there's no download at all: NetMeter shows nothing and the progress bar in Opera stays at 0. I might post the question in Opera forum. Thanks for all the suggestions. What happens if you ping outdoorsmagic.com ? [assuming Windows 2000 / XP and prob Vista] Start, Run, CMD, OK Re: Outdoorsmagic 1
Re: Outdoorsmagic in the black window that opens type: ping outdoorsmagic.com and hit Enter you should get a result like: C:\Documents and Settings\ds>ping outdoorsmagic.com Pinging outdoorsmagic.com [217.169.41.196] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=119 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=33ms TTL=119 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=33ms TTL=119 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=119 Ping statistics for 217.169.41.196: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli−seconds: Minimum = 33ms, Maximum = 34ms, Average = 33ms
Thanks for the suggestion − I can never remember this stuff (but do have a Cmd shortcut in Quick Launch); result was: Pinging outdoorsmagic.com [217.169.41.196] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=29ms TTL=118 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=33ms TTL=118 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=42ms TTL=118 Reply from 217.169.41.196: bytes=32 time=29ms TTL=118 Ping statistics for 217.169.41.196: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli−seconds: Minimum = 29ms, Maximum = 42ms, Average = 33ms so OK. If you get a different IP address for the site (217.169.41.196 above) it may be that you need to flush your local cache. To do so type ipconfig /flushdns
Not too sure if that would work with Opera(?), but I did empty Opera completely and flushed TreeWalk's DNS cache (and tried with it off).

Re: Outdoorsmagic If you get the same IP address as I did but the pings time out then there may be an issue between your ISP and the server for the site. You can try and find where the problem is with the Trace route command tracert outdoorsmagic.com That should show you the responses from the machines on the route from your PC to the om server. If the responses consistently stop at one place that may be where the problem lies. You may need to contact your ISP's support department to resolve this...
It says 'Trace Complete' after the address of the server to which I'm connected, so that seems OK. Just checked the cached page and that doesn't load completely. Other pages with JS do load. Thanks again. I'll keep trying things but there's not much left (I won't allow IE to get out at all).
Well, just on the off−chance, check your ip address − see below from the risks digest. Graham > Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:31:20 −0400 The "trailing zeros" bug Rick Damiani wrote about in RISKS 25.09 reminded me of a similar, but fortunately far less intrusive, problem a friend of mine had with his ADSL connection. I had recommended the ISP I had recently begun using, and he'd happily signed up and got his modem and router configured and working perfectly... well, mostly perfectly. A few web sites, without any apparent relation, just wouldn't work when he went to them with his new DSL account. Switching back to the old account, everything was fine. (And I'd ..... ..... In desperation, we went into his router's set−up. It didn't _feel_ like a Path MTU discovery problem, but I was out of ideas. Then I noticed the IP address of his modem: x.y.z.0/32. A perfectly legitimate host address for a point−to−point connection. So we called up the ISP's support desk, and told the guy there what was happening and my suspicion about the "trailing 0" being a problem. It wasn't _wrong_, but it was the only thing odd I could see. The guy at the ISP agreed, right down to the "it's not wrong but it's unusual" feeling, and assigned a new IP with a non−zero final octet to my friend. Sure enough, all the missing web sites turned up. Re: Outdoorsmagic 3
Re: Outdoorsmagic My guess was that some providers were dumping packets purporting to be from a /24 network address, making the assumption that an all−zeroes final octet must mean the packet is spoofed. Which is fine for /24 all the way up to /31. But for anything else, you're at RISK of having a legitimate host address junked. /24 is common. Really, really common. But we all know the RISKs that arise when we treat "common" as if it was "only". You can't tell what my address structure is; even before CIDR, I was regularly working in subnetted class A space, and our netmasks never left the building. (Either that, or someone had heard the old saw that "auditors reject any line item that ends in 5 or 0.")
