NS seems to be correct, But can I ask if you've already configured BIND or something for the Nameservices? Or are you _only_ using /etc/hosts? /etc/hosts may not necessary be the correct path in the sense that it will only be used for the _local_ PC name to IP address translation. IIRC, it should not propagate to other PCs. (if you really want, then it those entries will have to be replicated to _all_ PCs. I may be wrong) -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 10:11:02 up 43 min, 7 users, load average: 0.52, 0.51, 0.68
