If dust would be the problem, you would have a very serious problem. It is either a loose connection or a damaged cable if it is a problem like this at all. Connectors are normally able to seal gasses locally of. So, dust cannot creep in at all. >=20 > *On two occasions in this episode, system no longer recognized the > hard drive, but it came back after powering off for 10 or 15 seconds.

There are some sample available at the Internet. In addition I always kept my own entries.

A connection to 127.0.0.1 will always be honoured while a connection to any other address might will result in a time-out which would make websites slow. >=20 Erich=20
