The value after the -h must either be a valid hostname in your organization or an IP address. If you can "ping" the server you want to reach by name, that's the name to use. Otherwize use the IP address of the machine you are trying to reach. Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine
