If this is on a home connection and you plan to use it behind a router or something, you can put in pretty much anything for the hostname/domain (for example, mine is "amd64.localhost"). If it's directly into a cable modem then maybe try via DHCP or however they assign addresses. An easy way to find that info out though is here: http://ipchicken.com/ At the bottom it lists your reverse DNS. You could also do a nslookup on your IP to get it. -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) --------------enig0DF72F1EE92E553CF73C457D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDkNVJlH2ybcmj7I8RAu6UAJ9ngc1Tz5kiaJCR1Cb+8/wg9IOMLQCeM3dc 4zPdBanq38yd8ukJpzw3zFU= =0J2k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig0DF72F1EE92E553CF73C457D--
