Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I put up a win98 machine at home for filesharing and decided to update it. well, couldn't reach MS site and thought it was because it has only IE5. so went to tucows and started the install. it took approx. 10minutes for it to find a download server! once it found it, the data game in some seconds. now what is that if not DoS? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

MS mentioned they're simply gonna edit the A-record for the windowsupdate.comsite to redirect to 127.0.0.1... _________________________ The tart is out there
