A sample file is installed for you in c:\windows as hosts.sam. Use this as a template for a file called 'hosts', one on each of your Windows clients. If you have a hosts file on each machine, you don't need a local DNS - use only your ISP's DNS. The DNS entries in winipcfg for each machine must be those of your ISP. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
