Re: Not happening on Earthlink Cable Customers

Just did another test. Created an SBC/ATT dialup connection (had DSL for 7 months, first time I've used the dialup!) to verify that I get redirected on this connection. Put "homepage" in the address bar in IE and got the information.com page (no "future home of" blurb this time) - resolved to 69.25.212.180. (First attempt it failed due to an earlier attempt to block the page - I had to rename my hosts file which was redirecting urlforwarding.domainsite.com, searchportal.information.com, and ppc-parked.domainsite.com to localhost). This was as much of the redirect as I have been able to trace. Since it occurs on many ISPs, you guys should be able to duplicate the redirect.
