thanks for your reply
I do not think it is a server problem because a client is working properly
if you see the previous email dig works fine but when I request that web
page from a browser can not display the page

I have this problem only with two clients that use ubuntu.
the client with lubuntu works properly.

can I verify anything else?
thanks in advance

regards
