Try quitting mozilla, moving your ~/.mozilla directory out of the way (e.g. 'mv .mozilla .mozilla.save') and starting mozilla.
If the problem persists then it's definitely nothing to do with your preferences. But if it goes away then it may be a function of your preferences - possibly something you set and forgot about, but also possibly something that has become corrupted (which might be caused by a Mozilla bug, an OS bug, a hardware fault, or who knows what).
Hi Richard,
I tried renaming my /homeian/.mozzilla directory as you suggested but when I then restarted Mozilla I noticed it asked me if I wanted to import my settings from Netscape (which still works) so I said yes. The new Mozilla still however fails with:
"Alert: www.alug.org.uk could not be found. Please check the name and try again"
But if I use ping to discover the IP Address of www.alug.org.uk and then type it (http://199.254.168.73) into the browser the PHP4Hosting.com homepage appears rather than the ALUG webpage I was expecting. This confuses me, but is probably simply an unrelated point.
If I rename the ~/.mozilla directory a second time and restart Mozilla, but this time create a new user profile, rather than importing my Netscape one, the problem still exists.
Ian.
