    Default tracert bad.horse

    Someone must have way too much time on their hands...

    Try running this (tracert in Windows, if Linux use "traceroute"):

    Code:
    tracert bad.horse

    Ok so you got my curiosity with the bad.horse.

    Now I'm going to have to figure out why anyone would bother to set that up.
    Cheers, Tiny

    I'm wondering if by so doing you've just opened the door to something unwanted on your computer. I bloody hope not, 'cause I just ran it.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Nah - it's a trace route. The only application that you are running is the tracert.exe included with Windows. No more harmful than doing a "ping".

    I know it's only a tracert. I was just being a little norty like Phil. FWIW I have used the format c: command on occasion, last time was back in days of windoze 3.1.
