For whatever reason, I just can't wrap my mind around this for my setup. What I have is:
Netgear gateway/router/firewall which also handles chat with ISP to maintain connection negotiate dynamic IP (bessie) Workstations are etta, aretha, hattie (win), and koko (lin). The workgroup is blues. My ISP/mail username is kk5st My news server username is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do not have a registered domain name, nor static IP. So how are the FQDN's constructed? tnx, gt Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
