This is nothing to do with Freenet. It sounds like you've accidentally set 127.0.0.1:8888 as your homepage. Did you know that if you accidentally press CTRL+D while using IE 6.0 it will set the current page to be your homepage? It sounds as if this is what you have done. If you're using IE 6.0 you can set your homepage by clicking on Tools, Internet Options, and typing a new address where it says "Address:"
If you want to set it back to Earthlink's homepage, the address you should enter is probably http://start.earthlink.net/ Favourites and History have nothing to do with your homepage. Favourites and History manage your favourites (on the Favourites menu and the Links toolbar) and your history (shows you which pages you've visited recently) respectively. Freenet does *not* change a browser's homepage setting. Only the user can do this themselves. hope this helps, d > freenet has co opted my browser. when i log on to the net my browser would > default to my ISP(earthlink) homepage.now it defaults to 127.0.0.1:8888. i > cannot get it to go to any other website. even by using favorites or > history. the default browser for earthlink is IE 6.0. this also happens to > be how i access my mail. any ideas? > > > --- Robert Greenage > --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --- EarthLink: It's your > Internet._______________________________________________ > Support mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
