What is an example of an external link? I usually ask people to use AIM or a link from Outlook Express. Also, can you put the full text of the error message. That is not the usual error message.

Actual error message is: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.mozilla.org." An external link is a link, clicked in an external application (e.g., Outlook). I also discovered that Mozilla never fails to access servers on the local network. It only fails with Internet servers (accessed through VPN).
Reporter, do you still get this error with Firefox 1.0.2? If not, the bug is probably fixed and can be closed. Thanks.
