I just looked for which file in the ZIP had changed size, and used it
to replace the old file in the GS705 directory. (I have set it up
diferently.)
No problem at all. Slick as a greasy proverbial !

Fixed it.
We may now leave it enabled while doing email. :)
IgnoreBaseHref will now only effect 'remote' URLs
- --- in html.c ---
case TAG_BASE: //<BASE>
//!!glennmcc: begin July 14, 2003
// added to optionally "ignore" <base href="> tag
// (defaults to No if "IgnoreBaseHref Yes" line is not in Arachne.cfg)
if(!http_parameters.ignorebasehref || !strncmpi(cache->URL,"file",4)){
//!!glennmcc: added July 15, 2003 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
//do not ignore if URL is 'local'
//!!glennmcc: end
if(getvar("HREF",&tagarg))
{
add2history(frame->cacheitem.URL);
GLOBAL.nothot=1;
strcpy(text,tagarg);
entity2str(text);
AnalyseURL(text,&url,IGNORE_PARENT_FRAME);
//reset BASE url:
if(!p->currentframe)
memcpy(&baseURL,&url,sizeof(struct Url));
url2str(&url,frame->cacheitem.URL);
if(!p->currentframe)
{
SetInputAtom(&URLprompt,frame->cacheitem.URL);
if(!p->rendering_target)
DrawTitle(0);
}
}
}//!!glennmcc: ending '}' of "IgnoreBaseHref"

I can try, why not?
But please point me a couple of MSFTP servers that I could observe
their behavior and test the solution. It would be also good to have
a user account on one, as they may behave a bit differently with
anonymous access. I'll ask my friend who, if I remember well,
installed MS IIS on his machine (running WinXP), for an account.

Subject: Question about apparent denial of service attack
During the wee small hours of this morning I was unable to access
my inbox. I was also unable to access my remote shell account. I
couldn't access any web sites either. I could not get to anywhere on
the internet. I tried with both Arachne and with Lynx386, an
alternative DOS browser. Neither browser could access any web page
I tried to go to. I am certain that I was properly connected and
logged on to my account at my ISP. The problem persisted for a period
of about 20 minutes. Then the service suddenly returned to normal.
Then I could access any site I wanted to without any problems.
I sent an email to the tech-support people at my ISP to describe the
problem I had experienced. I mentioned the date and the time-frame when
I had the problem. I asked them if they had temporarily suspended their
service during that period for performing routine maintenance and/or
system backups. Also I asked them if the ISP had perhaps experienced
a denial-of-service attack. They wrote back and thanked me for my email.
Also they informed me that they have no idea as to what could have caused
the problem. They assured me that they know of nothing that was happening
during that time on their end that could have caused the problem.
Does anybody here have any ideas as to what could have caused the problem?

I get that sort of thing happening here, too. But with only one of
my 3 ISP accounts. According to a techie friend (who used to be the
SysAdmin for that ISP) the problem was always a server malfunction, but
was always claimed by the ISP, when questioned, as:
Congestion on the net
It's the fault of the Telstra internet backbone
It's raining and water has gotten into the telephone junctions
You are in the Yarra Valley, aren't you - there's a fault at your
exchange
No, nothing the matter here !
Please check your setup.
And so on. Everything except something that was their fault.
Does this sound familiar ?

That sounds very familiar. :(
Each time it has happened to me.
I switch to 'outside DNSs' and everthing works just fine.
The next time it happens to you.
Try switching to these DNSs
128.32.136.9
128.32.136.12

Sounds good to me.
Now all we need is an 'OK' from Michael.

I can try, why not? I complained about my ISP-server = hetnet.nl
But they do not allow anonymous access!
My homepage is there and can be accessed with Windows Commander but not
with Arachne.
I made it to the 230 Welcome screen but not any further.
CU, Bastiaan
