For some reason telnet and ftp won't resolve host names, I think because my computer won't do reverse mapping for DNS. Ping, Traceroute, and other utilities like nslookup work fine, but I don't think they do reverse mapping. I have named running on my system, but the problem persists even if I turn it off and use other name servers, like my ISP's name server. I have been struggling with this problem for a while, and it is quite annoying. I would appreciate all the help I could get on the subject. Thanks, Chris Angell dhcp152.122.lvcm.com _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
