I have a hopefully not silly question; When I'm setting up my network, does it matter if I give the domain a TLD or not? Say I call my home network "myzoo". I don't ever plan on registering "myzoo.org" as a domain, and I don't ever plan on connecting to my home network from the outside (TOS of my ISP forbids servers anyways). Should I call it "myzoo.org" or just "myzoo" in the network configuration dialog or does it matter? Do any programs expect a TLD for the local domain? The only reason I ask is every example in every book I've seen has a TLD in the domain name, usually .com. Christopher
