Please send us your /etc/hosts file. Every box needs a minimal /etc/hosts file with at least its own hostname (though I'v never used DHCP). The box running dnsmasq should have all the hosts on your network listed in /etc/hosts for dnsmasq to read. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
