        So this caused a large number of unecessary visits by my RCCs this
year...the redirect - that in years past worked like a charm - utterly
failed this year.
        Whenever a browser window was launched, you would automatically
get Page can't be displayed, even if EVERYTHING was set okay on the
computer...you had to manually type in an address - any word or letter, as
its supposed to be - and then you'd be taken to Reg Page.
        I've included my dummy DNS file in the hopes that someone out
there can tell me what the heck went wrong here!
