I often use the updates page to test that ipcop has connectivity to the internet. I hit the "refresh update list" button and wait until the page reloads. If it comes up with a red border and appropriate error message then I know not even the firewall has connectivity to the internet.
This method also assures me that I have all the updates installed, if it refreshes the update list and still says "All updates installed" (or similar) then I know all is okay. Kerry. On 20/04/07, Roger Searle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
