sounds like s dns problem. on the webserver what does /etc/resolv.conf say? I should include some nameserver lines. dhcp sets the nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf, a manula setup does not. I suspect thats the problem. copy the nameserver lines from one of the dhcp workstations. If that doesn't fix it try pinging an ip address on the net by number, eg ping 123.123.123.123 and let us know the results. > > jlowell -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
