WLM is *not* part of patch Tuesday. It is an optional component on a separate page that you must manually select in order to download and install it. WGA will, however, d/l by default. You can deselect it as I have done many times (but I eventually installed it). WLM was honor-system installed by your client. Now, why either of these would cause DNS problems, that's a mystery. I've installed the most recent patches and I'm not having this issue. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
