Hi,

You reported a bug in lynx .. 4 years ago.  I was wondering if you
could detail the circumstances under which it occurs, since I think I
have an explanation.

Here is the bug:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=116920

I suspect that you were typeing "lynx news.bbc.co.uk.", and which lynx
interprets as a request to connect to that news server, on tcp/119
(not tcp/80, as for most webservers).  If you're still able to
reproduce this bug, could you try also this command?

  lynx http://news.bbc.co.uk.

That will force lynx to interpret the given url as an http request,
defaulting to tcp/80.

Cheers,
Justin
