You're right ... as that such pages indeed do exist. But the conclusions from this fact are:

1. Such pages are faulty

2. Try harder to ZOOM them DOWN

YES it works now.



The BUG was in WATTTCP.CFG :

> my_ip = dhcp
> dhcp.server = 192.168.178.1

The upper line is good, but the lower one is faulty and has to get kicked out :idea:

OWB good things:

- Can edit Wiki pages > 32 KiB (but see below)
- Supports JS (???) (but see below)

OWB faults:

- No way to type in an address (type it into Google for now)
- Text cursor not visible
- Mouse arrow off
- Page not reloaded after submitting text (but the text is sent, just check it)
- Depends from MSVC??? files
- When no internet connection found, the error mesage is just a white screen
- No way to view local HTML files ???
- No TFM, no "official" download
- No way to control Cookies, JS, Referee, User-Agent, History, Images, Privacy (any way besides DBAN ???
