hi i tried that and even restarted the browser but no luck.

For a moment i see "http://wiki/" but it still goes ahead and passes that to the google search.

I can definitely reach "http://wiki" from my old E71 also without tweaking browser settings ;-)

EDIT: could this be related to https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995 ? if i put a ".local" my 'intranet domain suffix' it tries to hit my webserver. I am sure my router is handing out the correct dns settings. how can i check? ifconfig on the n900 ?

EDIT2: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7239 ??

thanks
