easy networking question (maybe)

[Buck]

This "bug" makes a little sense because the http:// indicates a web
host.  When a person has a url vegas.com:95, it could be any type of
service from email to FTP, etc.  As for the IE locking up, what's the
problem? After all it is a Microsoft program. What do you expect? <g>  

Seriously, it makes sense to use the prefix with the suffix, but you
might have a point with the browser.

This bug also has been known to confuse the browser so badly that you
have to restart it before it will do anything else.
