Well to be honest I'm not sure that is the case, but why do you particularly want an IP address of 1.1.1.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0? You might be able to configure your unix in an unconventional way, but maybe you DOS client TCP/IP won't be as malleable. As a starting point: /etc/myname netvan.com. /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost a.a.a.a netvan.com. netvan /etc/hostname.ed0 inet netvan.com. m.m.m.0 where a.a.a. = whatever IP address you want for the machine, and m.m.m.0 is the corresponding mask Danny Thomas
