If you have a static why would your isp assign your host name? Are you still required to use dhcp? (I've know a few ISPs that require everyone to use dhcp, and just make a table entry for static ips by mac address). If using dhcp, set the option that does NOT request a host name from your isp and just set your own. -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
