I'm not sure. I know that /etc/resolv.conf contains the following: search flat.org nameserver 10.0.0.1 which is correct AFAICS, as 10.0.0.1 is the DHCP and name server on our network. Someone was telling me last week how to do a verbose name lookup, so you could see how the system was trying to resolve names, but I can't remember how. Does this ring any bells with anyone? ta alex
