It probably depends on which cable. @home really likes the host name they assigned, or they don't play ball. I use a router now, and the host name they assigned is embedded there. My boxen (WinME, Linux, Win2000) can have any host name they like, because the name talking to @home is the assigned name. -- Collins Richey Denver Area gentoo_rc6 xfce+sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
