Unless you are using an ISP that supports IPv6, I suggest that you use the -ipv6 USE flag. Also, I have noticed on two machines of mine that unless you place localhost at the end of the line in your /etc/hosts, you will get "This is wcw-gentoo.(none) (Linux i686 2.6. . . .)" when you login. Your domain will not be recognised. -- Regards, Mick
