In etc/host.conf I have put hosts before bind. Name resolution was working fine but has suddenly failed. Calling host.exe with an ip address correctly returns the hostname but calling with a hostname fails. I have examined every file that was modified in the last week and could not find anything that could explain this problem. Host.exe has not been changed since I installed FreeBSD. Any ideas would be appreciated. Pete Young pyoung@wat.hookup.net
