But at the moment, that's the only way I could think of to get to that site. As of a couple days ago, there was no way to reach that particular link (to my knowledge). If you tried 128.32.112.248/win32 in a web browser, it still resolved to www.gimp.org/win32 - which my DNS couldn't resolve. Perhaps the new IP address will get distributed to the DNS servers shortly (if it already hasn't). > _______________________________________________ > > gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
