    Are you guys on Eircom? We had this here too, sounds like a sort of a global DNS problem.

    Funnily enough, moi aussi. Deleted Mozilla and seems to be ok now.

    I now have a 78 MB file in my c/documents and settings/local settings/temp directory called "moz-mapi" which has a sub-directory called "moz-mapi-1" which seems to replicate itself hundreds of times.

    I cannot delete it as it says the location of the file "USER~2.TXT" cannot be found.

    WTF is going on people?

    same sort of thing happens in my parents house, i never checked boards.ie so I'm not sure if its the exact same problem, I blame eircom tbh...

    boards.ie was opening on my machine too and a few other sites, but I think this is because of the local dns cache.
