Aye! No, they are not the same! I don't know what I was thinking. Okay, let me make it clear: /etc/networks uses the format: <netname> <ip> For example: piqnet 192.168.13.0 c3net 192.168.195.0 /etc/hosts uses the format: <ip> <name> [aliases] For example: 127.0.0.1 localhost loopback 192.168.13.1 detlev.webstar.net detlev 204.251.28.1 dns.webstar.net dns 204.214.9.45 nkn-webstar.nkn.net router Thanks for the heads-up! -=<[Joel Ray "Piquan" Holveck]>=- -- http://www.wp.com/joelh --- Joel Ray Holveck --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fourth law of computing: Anything that can go wro .signature: segmentation violation -- core dumped
