Excellent pointer! Except for the fact that it doesn't seem to work. I had to manually configure it to read the dhcp lease file (which I think should happen by default), but even afterwards it fails to resolve other machine on my network. I think this is the Right Approach (tm). Do you have any ideas what might be broken for me? Thanks, Jerry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
