Hello Markus,

That happens to be the VM I'm handling Fidonet messages with. My main desktop 
where I was trying out Firefox is Windows 7.

Currently /etc/gai.conf on my server machine is default (nothing changed).

There's not much value to be had while being stuck using a he.net tunnel and 
not being able to have native IPv6, so for now I guess I'll take what I can 
get! :)

Regards,
Nick
