Hendrik, these nameservers are not causing your problem, and they're not harming you. You can find out who they are and decide whether to keep them after the problem is solved. I am convinced you have a resolution problem. There is a file somewhere, and I can't remember where, that holds your domain name. The name needs to be a fully qualified name, but not one that it will confuse with an internet name. You need to find that file. See if you can search for that file by searching on part or whole of what you set your domain to be. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
