I'm at version 172 of Hijack (can't keep up with you, Mark. ) and I've got a funny thing that I don't understand happening.

I've created links to mount the drive as RW and RO, like this:

http://empeg?rw
http://empeg?ro

And they worked fine last night at home. But now I try them at work today and I get a "403 Forbidden" error when I try to do it.

Note that the other functions work, for instance, browsing http://empeg works fine. I have entered the empeg's IP address in the hosts file, so it resolves to "empeg". And once I've hand-set it to RW via the serial port, the FTP features work great.

I know I could use an actual FTP client to do the SITE RO and SITE RW commands, I'm just wondering why they quit working on my browser.

Details that might be a factor:

- I'm running IE 5.5 at home on Win98, and IE6 at work on Win2K.

- I notice that IE likes to add a slash at the end of my URL even though it's not in the link. For instance: http://empeg?rw becomes http://empeg/?rw when I click on it. I don't remember whether 5.5 did that at home or not.

- I tried Netscape 4.7 and I see "Access Not Permitted GET /" while all the other functions work, just like in IE.

Any ideas?
