It works, in that I can telnet from a Mac on my network to "crotalus.wcrb.com", and it will get the IP address from my name server. But if I log on to the 386 and type: telnet crotalus.wcrb.com, I get the message "unknown host". If I type: nslookup crotalus.wcrb.com, I get: Server: natrix.wcrb.com Address: 0.0.0.0 Name: crotalus.wcrb.com Address: 204.57.61.4 Hunt's book says I should see natrix's address, not 0.0.0.0. Are the two problems related? Have I left something out of one of my database files? Rob Landry umar@cybercom.net
