My domain keeps gettting erased from my /etc/resolv.conf, and my /var/log/messages is now being filled with series of messages like this:Jun 11 08:19:33 gandalf inetd[580]: netbios-ssn/tcp: bind: Address already in use Jun 11 08:23:23 gandalf dhclient: New Network Number: 192.168.1.0 Jun 11 08:23:23 gandalf dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 Is there another file/setting that's being consulted somewhere at boot time? Gary mentioned it may be due to a smbd, netbios-ssn, or DCHP setting, but he's unfamiliar with those services.

Don't use that option. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Free online calendar with sync to Outlook(TM).
