Well... I suppose I could setup a DNS server for my 5 machines while Im not
online, but do I really need that? Im not really using domain names, just
hostnames on my lan. Its not like I have a LAN thats on the internet 24/7 and
need access to them from anywhere other than my lan.... also, The *Only*
issue I have is on one system (the other computers work fine, and the other
OS's on this comptuer work fine...)
