Right? Well, if this is your machine, and you've paid Netidentity.com for the rights to use that name from the hayes.org zone they control: % host traveler2.hayes.org traveler2.hayes.org has address 64.15.175.5 then that's probably fine. It should work OK off the net. If you're using it as a client but from some other IP number, then some things will work -- web browsing should be fine -- but others won't -- ssh(1) will throw screaming hissy-fits. Things like e-mail can be persuaded to work, assuming you want an address like lloyd@hayes.com or lloyd@traveller2.hayes.com Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBjogSiD657aJF7eIRAuzOAJ4kmb789PWi3zj3boMOh2Sr4ae1pACffQln tJTrysZkJx/+JY3/WnvK8Cg= =nRrD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5--
