Thanks Bryan. First thing first. First `service nerwork stop` will do the trick for me as I understand. Whether in will stop local loop also. My broadband cable provider charges me by Bytes transfer. I am using wwwoffle for offline browsing with dailup account now. With broadband ie always on system if I want to relook a page it will connect to net for the page. As this will lead to data trafic and it will cost, I want to avoid this. I want to go to net only when I want. Stored pages by wwwoffle proxy I would like to see without connecting to net. I hope I have made myself clear. -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/
