Everything worked fine until after I made the PPP connection to our terminal server and went back to Alt-F1 to press enter. At that point it was unable to resolve the hostname. I tried again with freefall and then using a URL with freefall's IP address. No go. Could it be a routing problem? Or could it have something to do with the hostname. When asked for a hostname I said "joe" just to put something in, but since we are using dynamic PPP addresses I have no way of knowing which hostname I will get after connection. -- Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-549-1036 Network Operations Fax: +1-604-542-4130 Okanagan Internet Junction Internet: michael@junction.net http://www.junction.net - The Okanagan's 1st full-service Internet provider
