I think I have it working thanks to all of the responses both on and off the lists I used. I even had couple of those "Aha" moments when another piece of the puzzle fell into place regarding dns domains. For the record for the Linux groups - my comment about windoze was to my friend who is a windows guru. She keeps trying to convert me. :) Next time I post, I will try to be more specific and concise in my questions and clarifying responses. Sometimes I think in pretty general layman terms as I don't have a lot of formal geek training - and what I have is aging. Thanks again and have a great weekend. Dana
