The D-link router is the DHCP server on my network and hands out private IP addresses. Its own address can be seen above. The DNS server is the router, which goes out to my ISP. Of course there are no PDC or Active Directory servers around, I do have a Win2000 server which handles my VPN gateway (through the D-Link router) and also serves as my local CVS server for CVSMailer and other private stuff I do. It is also not a domain PC, though. I know that when I received Polaris and had to walk through the XP installation I entered the domain suffix "just for fun", it was an invented one of course. .... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
