Hi Mark, I'm running Mathematica 7.01 in Ubuntu 10.10 and your Import["http:// www.wri.com"] command works fine. I don't think I've had any troubles with it in the last few versions of Ubuntu or Mathematica... Do other commands that require internet connection such as GraphData["PappusGraph"] work? I guess that you've read through http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/InternetConnectivity.html I hope you get the problem sorted, Simon On Jan 11, 4:34 pm, Mark Coleman <markspcole... at gmail.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > We are running Mathematica v7.01 Linux x86 (64-bit) using Ubuntu 10.4.
