Hi Aaron, I would also like the same and if I could set up say a wacky domain name for my Linux box that connects via its modem and a dynamic IP to the internet. I mean could I call it for instance localhome.co.za? Does anyone know what the RFC number is for me to go and look at regarding hostnames? -- =========================================================================== Hylton Conacher on KDE 2.1.1 on kernel 2.4.3-20mdk#1 Registered Linux user # 229959 on Mandrake 8 on an i686 (AMD 1 Ghz K7 mobo Licenced Windows user ===========================================================================
