When you invoke ftp, do you invoke via the full name, or via the hostname, or via IP? Does changing this change the behavior? if your modem is off, DNS is on, and you type "host 192.168.0.103" on the gateway, do you dial out? As for the ftp server, I'm wondering if it does some sort of sanity checking (I know that Netscape, for example, does "sanity checks" which involve external DNS lookups). bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
