gopher problem

[rob]

gopher:// works at work but not at home in IE6. Using the
old NCSA browser, however, gopher:// works fine. What is
wrong with IE6?

Hi,

Are you trying a telnet session?

Hi,

In IE at home if I type in gopher://somewhere.com it
immediately gives me a "Cannot find server or DNS error"
error.
In IE at work if I type in the same thing, somewhere.com
comes up fine. What is wrong with my IE browser at home?

I have an old NCSA browser at home that works fine with
gopher (on the same machine too).

Thanks,
Robert
