Thanks for your help. You just have to remember to change the DNS server addresses if you move the host machine between different networks (in /etc/resolv.conf for a static IP guest, or in the host DHCP server if the guest uses DHCP). (At some point I'm going to start making an FAQ entry covering the common vmm cases.) -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
