Obviously, this s > not possible because I Host3 can't resolve names. Are you saying Host3 doesn't have a default nameserver or it isn't in your DNS? Your DNS is probably located on Host1 (my guess, being outside the firewall where the rest of the world can see it), so point your /etc/resolv.conf on Host3 to Host1. There is no requirement that Host3 be resolvable by anyone else to get on IRC. My machine shows up as 140.109.40.248 on IRC because I haven't gotten around to adding our FreeBSD boxes to our DNS. You might even get away with not having a default nameserver on Host3 if you put your IRC server into /etc/hosts, but things like /dcc will stop working. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
