Code: 
<script language='javascript' src='[URL unfurl="true"]http://127.0.0.1:1032/js.cgi?pcaw&r=24464'></script>[/URL]

i only see this on one pc when i view the source of the webpage. i do not see it on my other pc on the same home network.

You are calling the external script incorrectly.
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://127.0.0.1:1032/js.cgi?pcaw&r=24464"></script>[/URL]

The way you're including the script file should be fine - it's just slightly older syntax, but should be recognised by all browsers.

It's proabably something in the script file that is causing the loop. Can you post the contents?

after doing a little more looking at other sites, it seems i get this from a multitude of sites. i even get this loop script from my verizon dsl start page as well as this webpage!

i am starting to wonder if my machine java settings are not set correctly.

Sounds like a new technology I heard of. I think they call it a "Virus" ;-)

127.0.0.1
isn't that a loop ip to nowhere?

i first thought it may be a virus but have checked my box with a bunch of virus & spyware checkers & not found anything.

more specifically
127.0.0.1 is the standard IP address used for a loopback network connection.


This means that if you try to connect to 127.0.0.1, you are immediately looped back to your own machine.

If you telnet, ftp, etc... to 127.0.0.1, you are connected to your own machine.

In other words, 127.0.0.1 is you.

127.0.0.1 means self, and refers to whatever computer is being used at the time. That's what the quote you provided says in the last line. The script tag you showed in your original post refers to a CGI script (usually Perl) on whatever computer the page is viewed on, and if you don't have the scripting engine installed or the script on your computer's web server (you DO have a web server running on the computer you're trying to view this, right?), it won't do anything, and any references to functions or data in the script will cause an error.

no, i do not have a web server running on my home machine.

i just cut this from the View Source for this webpage
Code: 
<script language='javascript' src='[URL unfurl="true"]http://127.0.0.1:1032/js.cgi?a&r=2995'></script>[/URL]

this page runs fine even with this line in it. if you do the same i bet you will not see this line of code! however, some other pages i get this on do not initialize some java applets now.

this problem just surfaced in the last week. have not had this problem before then. am now looking at it as a non-java issue - something else?

any suggestions appreciated, but i am going to try the Virus forum.

thanks to all.

Has IE7 left beta yet?

Even if I missed the final release I wouldn't use it as a reliable and stable browser yet

So try uninstalling them - any of them could be doing this. My money is on ZA, but it could be any of them.

yes, Zone Alarm seems to be the culprit
