Did you accidently set the hostname in your rc.conf in /etc or /etc/defaults? If that not set may host name becomes a hostname set by DHCP which is a long string containing the ip address. Only if I've set hostname to something else do it give me something else. -- Rod @ Home So No Cool Signature http://opensourcebeef.bsd.st
