Unless your router allows you to associate a dynamic IP with your MAC address (i.e. static DHCP). The poor man's workaround for this, assuming that you don't want to give up on DHCP, is to create a wrapper script for ssh that removes the known_hosts file and then calls ssh. It will be a little noisier, but it should work. The alternative is to figure out what setting in your router is screwing up DNS resolution. I suppose you could be getting lost even before you get there too. You could check your network settings under Windows to see if it properly points to your router for DNS. > What little I know about networking makes me fear blundering into a > morass if I depart much from the default installation scripts.

I'm guessing you don't use ssh with those. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
