:)) down in South Africa it is still very expensive to have broadband, although it is cheaper in the long run but the installation costs are horrible and a lot of businesses are still reluctant to get it :)) it will take sometime. back to the *problem* in hosts I have all my internal machines' IP's and my loopback. all is fine I can ping any machine on the LAN and all LAN machines can ping me without ppp dialing out. in resolv.conf I have nameservers 127.0.0.1 hm, I am thinking I will just switch off named and tell squid to use the ISP's DNS. I don't really need a DNS for a 5 PC LAN even just DNS forwarding. BUT I will try your way as well and let you know what happens. thanx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor S.
