No, it uses a static address: 192.168.70.128. > I'll admit > that this problem is not (as) likely to happen on the "home" releases, I run Windows 2000 Professional (without any service packs, IIRC). > the "pro"/"server" release of Win2k/XP are set to run within a domain > network and this has tons of compatibility problems with any other > network setup. That is configurable via the System Properties "Network Identification" tab.

I don't deny it might be an improperly configured Win2k setup or non-RFC behavior triggered by something in his configuration that is not in mine. I'm just saying there are configurations of Win2k professional that do not have problems using djbdns dnscache for name service...even with a static address and without a DNS suffix. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
