I don't agree with this. I have two machines behind the same NAT
gateway, therefore they are using the same public source IP address to
connect to the web server. One is Mac OS X, and works fine with both
browsers, and the other is my Fedora 9 box which doesn't work at all,
hasn't worked all weekend, and still doesn't work today. I tried both
machines simultaneously, and the Mac consistently works fine, while
the F9 box doesn't.
Additionally, I just tried Konqueror on F9, and it works fine.
Tis is definately a problem with at least my F9 Firefox 3 setup. Ok,
I do have some extensions, namely NoScript, Flashblock, and User Agent
Switcher. I just said "Allow Scripts Globally" and it is now working.
I guess some not-so-obvious third party site needs to run a script for
the comments section to work.
