Sounds like your DNS query was timing out which then invokes the wildcard response in the Mediacom servers.<br>

Thanks Jerry but this happened when I selected the URL from a<br>bookmark which works otherwise. Then when I use ethernet I have no<br>problem. Switching back to airport still had the problem. It cleared<br>up for the airport when I accidentally disconnected the power(I am
<br>not pleased with the Mini power plug).<br><br>At 7:35 AM -0600 1/18/06, Jerry Weida wrote:<br>>Actually, this is a problem with the DNS at Mediacom. If you<br>>mistype a URL, they have a wildcard DNS entry that points to their
