Smith | Sent from Yahoo Mail } mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org | (please excuse any i agree on the thread issue myself yet i am not the mailing list expert. it was just a suggestion as i recall the change from ncsd back to bind issues. i had dismissed this thread until it dawned on me that i am an expert on DNS among other things and have been for a decade or more yet i was distracted with a new server and etc blah so my apologies... since i dont have access to the machine i thought looking in those file resolv.conf and named.conf would be a best start. of course there are more potential issues people are already addressing so ill see if i can get on board. thanks -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net
