I've never used Links, so I'm obviously not familiar with that - but you could try Lynx. Never failed me. However, I find the "no route to host" error a bit strange...you sure nothing's happened to your network configuration?

Don't know. That's what I find strange. I don't know if it could be a Links setup issue...can you ping linuxquestions?

Hmm...stupid question here: you HAVE tried writing the URL with http:// in front , right?

links works fine on my 9.1+current setup, though I only use it when I want to do a root console mode login, which might be a clue and I don't want to risk starting X while root.

You don't say if you can ping www.linuxquestions.org.
