(k)ubuntu 8.04 when offline: firefox :This document cannot be displayed while offline. To go online, untick Work Offline from the File menu. konq: An error occurred while loading http://localhost:8085: Could not connect to host http://localhost:8085/. when online: perfect when again offline: problems again. > 2) Does your laptop "know" the IP address of "kmotion" ? > (open a terminal/command window and type "ping kmotion".

When both online & offline: dave@dev-system:~$ ping kmotion ping: unknown host kmotion dave@dev-system:~$ Because I am accessing it as localhost I was assuming DNS was not involved, or at most just the /etc/hosts file which contains 127.0.0.1 localhost Its all very bizzare ... cheers Dave -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
