Hi Carlos, interesting... I can access the site on Firefox 2.x in OpenSuSE 10.2 but I get other codes back:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> host www.ñandú.cl Host www.\195\177and\195\186.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 ...is UTF-8 buggy? :o) Anyway, as for your question... I don't thing host or ping or dig are buggy; they just don't know how to handle these international characters, I guess... YMMV ----- Original Message ---- From: Carlos E.
