No. But it will happen someday. ;-) But your question reminds me that I forgot to mention that the router should be set up to point to your ISP's DNS. But as I recall, I didn't have complete success with name resolution of local machines until I switched to using static DHCP IPs and adding the names and IPs to my /etc/host files. It's really the best way to go if one's router supports it. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
