Are you certain of that? Is the only DNS server listed in the Classic TCP/IP settings the same address that Classic thinks it is using? I'm dubious because as far as I can tell, OpenTransport really is ignorant of its position running in a thin emulator, and so refrains from sending packets into what it sees as network hardware if the packets look like loopbacks of any sort. On the other hand, if I'm slightly wrong in how 'smart' (for normal situations) OT is about loopback traffic, it could be that UDP traffic (like DNS) works while TCP (like SMTP) can't, at least for UDP listeners in the OS X world. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
