Opera calls 127.0.0.1 :'(


Recommended Posts

Every time i connect to neowin or google, opera sends a call to 127.0.0.1. :blink: why is this?

This dosen't happen when connecting to any other website. :huh: Neowin is not my home page and i don't use the address as a proxy.

its not much of a bother but it seems to increase loading time. Just wanted to know what's causing this. :ninja: :whistle:

Does the same happen in other browsers?

No. At least not in internet explorer or firefox.

check your C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

i did. its empty.

I think it is because of the "Server Name Completion" setting. It is searching for a local network machine with that name.

Depending on your version of Opera:

Tools | Preferences | Advanced | Network | Server Name Completion

Then Untick "look for local network machine".

Let us know if that works.

I have seen some reports about using Skype. Do you have any strange configurations or are you using a proxy?

Edit:

Are you using GWA?
