        Dim s As IO.StreamReader
        Dim w As New Net.WebClient()
        s = New IO.StreamReader(w.OpenRead("http://www.gpw.com.pl"))
        TextBox1.Text = s.ReadToEnd

I dont know why that would download data from the wrong site. I use a different snippet to download stuff from HTTP locations though, perhaps this one would work a little differently:

Dim wcDownload As New System.Net.WebClient()
Dim bytDatabuffer As Byte() = wcDownload.DownloadData(strURL)
Dim strDatabuffer As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytDatabuffer)

I used your code but the same problem apear. Maybe its becous of firewall, or some proxy settings?

what you think

Sorry, I have no idea what could cause this. Especially not if it works in your browser. .NET certainly shouldnt be doing anything that IE isnt when it downloads data.

Ive found the problem. Its the proxy settings of my system. I dont know why but every other internet applications work fine without setting it before (IE, MOZILLA, etc.) I thinks they have their own proxy settings... but how can I allow my applications user to set it. I mean what control(or something else) do this, and how?

thanks for help. Sa
