Interesting! I got the "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" using
Iceweasel/2.0.0.19 on a Debian Etch. I have now used the identical
URL with Iceweasel/3.0.6 on a Debian Lenny, and it works! Settings
seem to be identical, and both machines are on the same LAN and
reach out through the same router, and as far as I can tell using
the same DNS server.

Mystery! (Not that there's any mystery about Bill Gates's PPT
failing to work).

Ted.
