Hey Goatboy, can you explain us what the hell Windoze does when it asking
for CD-ROM just to *DISABLE DNS* ?

Does it tries to write DNS stuff back to CD?
Of cource, we must reboot then, and the same for everything.

IMHO, if ever MS stealed networking form BSD, their guys must be completely
stupid to damage it so much.
