You won't be able to use machine names for the machines on your network until your machine knows where to find this information. I am going to assume that you aren't running your own DNS server (even a caching one), mainly because I don't remember how caching ones are set up. Edit /etc/resolv.conf. You probably have a DNS server or 2 in there already. Find out from your network admin where your local DNS server is located and add it in. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang ICQ number 43634701
