It is the NEEDHOSTAME=no that is important. It prevents the machine from setting the hostname to the one acquired in the dhcp process. I can't double check my machine because I am using a router for my cable modem and use static addressing behind it. I have previously solved the problem by running drakconnect in expert mode, making sure the need host name box is unchecked, and don't make any entries in the zeroconf or tmdnsboxes. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
