Some times, vista refuses to acknowledge short URLs.

Here's a fix that worked for me (Vista specific)

In Control Panel/network connections

  1. Right click your ethernet card (or similar) and select properties
  2. Select Internet Protocol vrs4 and press the properties button

1 Click the "Advanced" button 1 Select the DNS tab 1 Press the "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)" button 1 Add your home server's domain name (eg. home.com) 1 Press the required OKs, apply, close ...


All should work correctly now ... This should work automatically - hopefully someone can explain why Vista messes this up!
