Thanks everybody again, yesterday I was able to "telnet" for the firt time!
Cheers, cheers.
What I discovered is that I can telnet, ftp etc. just IP numbers and not
plain addresses, the same thing with any Netscape or other browsers, I can
reach the host only if I put the address in numbers.
Does anybody know why?
