OK, you're absolutely right. When you remove the DNS server, it brings up the network just fine and asks you to tell it the name of the computer. When you put the DNS server in, it crashes. I have essentially the same setup as Adam Williamson (above). My computer is 192.168.1.2 and the nameserver is 192.168.1.10 (it's an e-smith server and gateway box, version 5.5). The nameserver should give pc-00002 as the name of the computer I am trying to install it on. -- -- Igor
