But if its not in your local /etc/hosts file, I'd sure trace it down if you have to go around to every machine and do an ifconfig to find the machine useing it. And if its legit, add it to your /etc/hosts file to speed up the lookups. If not, take the offending machine down and fix it. You do have a firewall such as iptables setup to NAT and MASQERADE the users I assume. Things grinding to a halt in mid-afternoon sounds like the pipe to the net is being filled up with something. Running etherape on a machine that can see the whole local network might be educational. > > >Always a Pleasure to be in-touch. >yours' >Joshua Mugeziaubwa Guina >Research Management Information Office-MEPU >NARO-UGANDA >256-071-832368(mob/gms) >256-041-320341(office) ext 113 >P.O.BOX 295 Entebbe,Uganda. > >_________________________________________________________________ >Don't just search.
