Microsofts suggestion in their <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[ln" target="_new">;833786]Knowledge base article 833786</A>.

Quote :

Use a JScript command in Internet Explorer. In the Address bar, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

javascript:alert("Actual URL address: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" );



Most IE users will go HUH??!!!


Alternative suggestion: <A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/" target="_new">use this</A>. :wink:

javascript:alert("The real URL is: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is: " + location.href + "\n" + "If the server names do not match, this may be a spoof." );

Achieves the same with more info.

Does M$ passport work with mozilla? Cause I loaded RedHat 9 and was using the default browser and couldn't get any of M$ passports to work.
