It works kind off; wget resolves the name okay. The problem is that www.tromsų.no is served by a virtual server that gives you what's specified in the "Host:" header. So doing wget www.xn--troms-zua.no gives the "correct" page while "wget www.tromsų.no" does not (the same in IE also). IMHO for this to work, wget needs to know the ACE encoded name prior to resolving and building the HTTP header. Not a trivial task. PS. Windows does not actually support non-ASCII in it's DNS resolver. I had to use the hosts file. --gv
