Well maybe I should add it does not work as well when you use DNS servers that are not specific to the provider you use to access the internet. So when you assign everything using DHCP you should be fine, but when you use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server it might be less optimal. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
