Hi

When I use IE exemple us.cnn.com and I want to go back to the any page, I
have to do click in the Back bottons 2 or 3 times , I can see at the
bottons of the page "Connecting to 127.0.0.1" and nothing else happens
What can it be?

TIA

I don't know what you mean by "IE Example". "us.cnn.com" is a public
web site, I can connect to it with no problems. "127.0.0.1" is a
loopback address, that means that it's attemptint to connect to your
own machine. If your machine is not running a web server, that attempt
will fail.

Hello, Have same problem. The "hosts" file maybe creating the problem. I do
not know why, there maybe a link on the page that is listed in the "hosts"
file.
I have found that clicking on one of the first three links on the page
using my mouse, which is setup with a back button, works on my unit This
happens on several different sites, could be any site, such as CNN, NY Times
etc.
Have not posted or tried to troubleshoot the problem.

take care.
