[Mono-list] MSSQL from Linux using Mono - Error

[Daniel Waterbly]

Hello,

I did find this to be interesting...

Opening up "links" and going to certain addresses like http://www.google.com 
or http://www.hotmail.com returns an error that says "invalid argument" as 
well.  I am thinking this is suffering from the same problem but have no 
idea what it could be.
