Hi Mikkel Thanks for the help. I sorta of see where you are headed although I am not sure of the correct configuration of these files for names. Whit I do not understand is how these files come into play when I was entering numerical addresses. Frank The files are as follows. ______________________ /etc/hosts For Big_Nate 127.0.0.1 Big_Nate localhost /etc/host.conf For Big_Nate order hosts,bind multi on /etc/resolv.conf For Big_Nate search Commodity_Line nameserver 192.168.1.1 ______________________________ /etc/hosts For Reality_Check 127.0.0.1 localhost /etc/host.conf For Reality_Check order hosts,bind multi on /etc/resolv.conf For Reality_Check search Commodity_Line nameserver 192.168.1.1 _______________________
