Hi Jack, actually I didn't make it clear enough, I have edited the hosts file and added host entries for cluster sites. The problem is that dial-up won't start automatically. If i connect manually and then open the Internet Cluster window everything works fine. So I thought maybe you (or someone) would give me insight on how to make Windows dial the modem automatically, as it was in Windows 98. Thanks again,
