'Home' problem

This is weird - I always used to access the 2700 interface by simply typing 'home' into my address bar, but I just tried it, and now it goes to http://www.home.com/ - a home buyers website!

Add this entry in your HOSTS file

192.168.1.254 home

That worked, thanks Alan!

I wonder how it got changed?

kinmel · Apr 02, 2008, 22:36:21

Do you use Spybot or its equivalent, they make changes to the hosts file.

Simon · Apr 02, 2008, 22:37:15

Nope, haven't used anything like that recently.

installed any toolbars, add ons, or desktop search software? It sounds like something as overridden the setting to not search from the address bar.

No, I don't go near anything like that, Lance. Bit of a mystery, this!
