Aha! Yes, that was it. Thanks! Just removing bind9 was enough to produce the expected behaviour. Not sure I follow the bit about the manual step required. Which file is it that is being edited? can't find anything in etc/resolvconf.. Or is that a step which would allow use of the DHCP values with bind9 still isntalled? I suppose the latter would be useful to be able to do, so that all my servers could be configured to run off a single nameserver, but be able to take over as the nameserver with a simple change of config if desired. (I am setting one up for a friend that wants to give debian a try, but is not experienced in Linux admin, so fairly simple but flexible network adaptability would be a big advantage) Regards, DigbyT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
