That works, I was able to download the first file I was looking for.
I will bookmark that address for file access.

I made a corresponding change for the NitrOS-9 directory and was able to 
download a file from it also.
Created a new bookmark for that address for file access which works also.

So I am good to go until you break something else. :)

I will pass on the rest as I have all the file access I need and looking at 
the addresses included in it and as it has been two decades since I read up 
about that stuff, and I cannot read about it again as it was deleted from 
MSDN and does not appear on the web now, I am not interested. *eg* There 
also may be a clash with some peoples own router addresses, so that makes it 
a even worse suggestion perhaps. And of course beyond the knowledge of most.


Perhaps replacing all the references for "gene.homelinux.net:85" in your 
<http://204.111.25.156:85/gene/> page will make it work for everyone.


Also, IE says ALL your mail is phishing now with the embedded 
204_111_25_156-85 entries.
