(yourhostname) does not exist in DNS, apparently. If he's on a Windows machine, he needs to edit lmhosts and "fake" it. If he's in Linux, you can modify /etc/hosts and designate that shorthand hostname to an IP, which would work. Either that, or modify an existing local DNS server, if you're really serious about it ;) Thanks -dant --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
