The hosts files are are default ones and have not been touched since the machine was built.
The DNS issues are out of my power (since I am in the office).
Guys,
I could send an e-mail to myself from home (have no problem downloading there) but it is inconvenient, especially with the full versions. I do not want to attract the sysadmin attention with huge files and the free yahoo mail will allow patch but not the full version - I only have 6 megs there.
So I would rather download the files from a website.
It seems that my DNS server or whatever does not like non-symbolic URLs but I am not sure.
I use my office machine mostly to give people demos of the AH. And of course checking new versions when I cannot wait to get home.
