Weird SH*T on Front Page

Eversince I got DSL I've been getting this on DH front page:

WTF is it?

Make sure you don't have a firewall that's blocking referrals.

I'm not using any firewall. And what are REFERRALS?

btw.: What does this error mean, anyway?

We have an anti-leech script so people can't leech our images. If you have a router, it may be blocking HTTP referrers. Referrers are basically information telling the site where you're coming from, and if they're blocked, our server thinks you're trying to use our images on another site.

But I don't have any of this thing! I have a simple PPPOE ADSL connection

Are you using any ad-blockers / privacy tools / network proxy?

And do you get the same effect with another browser like Mozilla or IE? I'm unfamiliar with NetCaptor

Only with netcapor! In IE it works well!

edit: fixed it! before Iwas using the ISP's PPPOE driver and now I've switched to RASPPPOE and it works

Glad it's fixed
