But, seriously, is it the host "broadpark.no" we're talking about? And, is there anything similar about those "few" for whom "this network doesn't seem" to exist? Are they all in China, for (a rather silly) example? What is the network topology (layout) of your LAN? Can you run nmap or something similar against your ADSL router? What results do you get, if so? Have you tested DNS on remote systems using 'dig' or 'nslookup'? > I appreciate all the help I can get. > Good, I hope I can help, and that you'll excuse my tongue being so firmly planted in my cheek. > Regards, > -- Janine > Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
