How can I find out what server I am so that I know what steps to take inorder to enable allow_url_fopen? I have read some posts that say you need to know this in order to know whether you can just create a new php.ini and place it in the folder of the script your trying to run, which in this case is a weather feed script.

any help would be greatful

Mike

aceman,

You can do a trace route from a dos prompt on a windows xp machine
start->run
type cmd
at prompt type 'tracert domainname.com' (without 's)

or you can use some of the tools at dnsstuff.com
