Hi, How do I set my domain name properly so that I don't have to type the FQDN of a machine to reach it in my domain? Right now, if I do: ping ahost it doesn't work. But doing ping ahost.mydomain.com works fine. Any ideas? T'anks, L -- Laurent Duperval "Montreal winters are an intelligence test, U|Force - Java Center and we who are here have failed it."
