Actually 127.0.0.1 should be first. tmdns is a multi-cast caching DNS server. So it requires a multi-cast DNS server it can contact to resolve hostnames. With my tests it would work for the first request, then fail permanently after that. Also dhclient is a load of c*ap, dhcpcd is mucho better. dhclient requires significantly complex dhclient-INTERFACE.conf files to achieve the same as dhcpcd does with a couple of simple command line switches. -- John Allen, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeClub Silver Member.
