Hi Juergen.

I did as you told. Still no luck. For example I try to add the
Bundeslaendernamen layer and I get:

Could not draw Germany because:

Request contains a SRS not offered by the server for one or more of the
Layers in the request.

The WMS vendor also reported: 

msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Unsupported SRS namespace
(only EPSG and AUTO currently supported).

This is probably due to a bug in the QGIS program. Please report this
error.

Tried URL:
http://wms1.ccgis.de/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/umn/germany/germany.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=5.864170,47.274700,15.038900,55.056700&SRS=CRS:84&WIDTH=985&HEIGHT=836&LAYERS=Bundeslaendernamen&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=TRUE


Kind regards, Nikos
