DIRECT/209.85.227.103 text/html ---------------------------------------------- PS: I installed videocache too and i have a strange problem with that too, it seems to cache the video but does not really, I know this because when i watch a youtube video from my pc and i then go back to the video after a few min, it retrieves the video from the cache, but if i try to go to the same video from another pc on the same LAN it does not retrive it from the cache, and it does not even show up in http://localhost/videocache. Thank you guys. Mark
