On my Windows2000-machine at work I put the line 127.0.0.1 counter.fide.com in the file C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and I had no problems since then. Basically the computer first checks this file to resolve host names before asking your local DNS-server. (although I'm almost sure that 100 flags have to be set accordingly - and don't ask me which ones) I admit it's not the most elegant solution, but when it comes to spam, counters, banners and ads, almost anything is acceptable for me. ;) Sargon
