I think you can do it, but instead, you can specify all the names you want to one computer. Just add it after (or before) the name your provider gave up and should be ok. So, it will be like this: 24.115.135.172 put-your-new-name-here cr275960-a cr275960-a.crdva1.bc.wave.home.com Bye! > > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- Do you really think win is easy to use? --------------------------------------- Juli-Manel Merino Vidal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Running Debian GNU/Linux woody ---------------------------------------
