Tried that too. I had the README.HTML in the Lynx DOC directory on my local
machine as the startfile. It loads up the README file. No problem there. From
there If I try to go elsewhere - I get the error message again as ->

           "Alert! Can't access the remote host".

I am desperate for help. It is very critical for me to fix this problem ASAP.
Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
