How will that help? If the DNS didn't work using the servers in our LAN, why would it work better talking to a linux guest? And I would get the extra fun of building a linux DNS server instead of just forwarding all requests to the windows boxes? No thanks. What I still don't understand is why adding the addresses of the servers to the TCPIP DATA didn't have the expected result. Shimon
