Try assigning your machine a static IP out of one of the RFC 1918 private IP blocks (ex. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255) More info on that at: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1918.html You can give it any hostname (foo.domain.com) you want to set it up. I'm assuming from what you've described this will be a stand-alone machine not connected to the Net. -- John Gisclon http://www.knobdicker.net/
