If IP addresses work and names don't, it must be a DNS problem. If you can ping the machine you are connected to, but nothing else, you are missing a "default route" (the output of 'netstat -rn' should show a route from your IP address to 'default'). And if you can't ping anything at all, the connection has been lost. :-) -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
