 Has this happened to anyone?I click on a specific url and the website on my local host displays.
I've dumped my browser cache but no change. I type in the url into two different browser address bars and my local host homepage appears. |

Just a stab in the dark, but did you check your /etc/hosts file? When a browser is "hijacked," it generally involves bogus entries in this file.

All of my network related config files look fine.
I decided to change the Network Configuration Mode in the MEPIS Network Assistant from Automatic (networkmanager) to Manual (mnetwork) and the problem went away. |
