Title: 'Home' problem
Post by: Simon on Apr 02, 2008, 22:14:23
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!  (http://si6776.www.idnet.com/smileys/wtf.png)

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

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!  :dunno:
