Isn't that a little bit to much in /etc/hosts? Either the 2nd or the 3rd line is repetitve; if you have satan.freebsdsystems.com satan in there, that translates to: satan.freebsdsystems.com.satan.freebsdsystems.com and satan.freebsdsystems.com the 3rd line just says satan.freebsdsystems.com. Sure, there's nothing wrong with mentioning a name multiple times, but you may either take out 'satan' or 'satan.freebsdsystems.com.'. And if there's no 'satan.freebsdsystems.com.satan.freebsdsystems.com', you might as well remove 'satan.freebsdsystems.com', so that your /etc/hosts file just reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost. 24.69.168.6 satan > Hope that helps, So do I ;-] Alexander Skwar -- Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com Sichere Mail?
