Is this correct? take out the period if it is in /etc/hosts. also it may help(although it can break normal internet usage). edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and find the line that says hosts: on it, and remove everything after the word hosts: except the word files. not all programs use this file but maybe inetd does. or you can try removing tcp_wrappers from inetd by deleting the part of the line that has /usr/sbin/tcpd (or whatever its called) and restart inetd to see if that does it. > > Where can I find some detailed info about arp? not sure myself, there is probably an RFC for it. although ARP doesn't do name resolution just MAC->IP and the other way around. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
