Hello, I am not a n00b to the internet or the intartubez. I am new to LM but I recently noticed that Mozilla on LM doesnt read .tk websites. Do you know how to fix this? I would say I have tried everything but I am still learning. Please help me.

Are you behind a proxy?
That's about the only explanation I can find - works OK for me but the sites I looked at are somewhat doubtful

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, don't break it if you can't fix it

I dont know. My brother handles the particulars. I'll get back to you on that.
But it worked when I had XP.

Ok, I am not using a proxy or a router. Any suggestions?

Could you give the URL's that cause your problem ?
The "stupid" solution would be to reinstall Firefox (i suppose you're talkin about firefox when you say "mozilla"), but it's likely there's another way to fix this.

Take a look at /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.deny See if there's any mention of .tk urls
Don't think so but manipulating the hosts file is an ugly trick often used in Win

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, don't break it if you can't fix it

Fixed. After we changed OS, our DNS changed. So we reset it and boom. It works. Thanks guys. You did help.
