I installed this program on my FC4 machine a few days ago. It has been up and down since, but tonight, I got it started, and one thing it does is scan the available machines on the network and return a list of machines and IP addresses. It's returning the StudyPC machine, but with the same internet address I was getting the other day. So, instead of resolving StudyPC to the local Windows machine on my network, it's doing a DNS lookup on the internet and trying to connect to that address. I'd removed the "search com" line from my resolv.conf file, but, it persists in this behavior. The documentation for this program is sparse, and there seems to be no way to curb this behavior through any of the available configuration windows. I'd be willing to remove this package at this point, but I'm not sure how, as I installed it from source using ./configure, make, make install - I'm not even sure that would solve my problem. I did try reinstalling the package just now, hoping my altered Samba settings would improve matters, but no cigar... -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
