Some times, Vista and Windows 7 don't operate well with short URLs.

Here's a fix that worked for me (Vista/Windows 7 specific)

In Control Panel/network connections

  1. Right click your ethernet card (or similar) and select properties
  2. Select Internet Protocol v4 and press the properties button
  3. Click the "Advanced" button
  4. Select the DNS tab
  5. Press the "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)" button
  6. Add your home server's domain name (eg. home.com)
  7. Press the required OKs, apply, close ...


All should work correctly now ... This should work now
