See if its even giving a reply! Then I'd check these rules out: > if (isInNet(host, "192.168.5.0", "255.255.255.0")) {return > "DIRECT";} > if (isInNet(host, "192.168.42.0", "255.255.255.0")) {return .. etc; as this causes the browser to do a DNS lookup. I haven't looked into it to see whether DNS lookups are done for -each- of those isInNet() or whether its cached (which you'd kind of hope!) Adrian
