What does "bind for domain name resolution" mean? Does the mashine
want to contact a internet nameserver?
Surprising that today after boot-up GOOFY _can_ ping MINI by name, but
not MICKEY. What I didn't seem to had made clear was that all mashines
can ping each other by IP adress except MINI vs MICKEY. How can I
achive that?
Since I do not have a internet dial on demand - I really cannot
imagine that the domane you had found would affect my home network.
Could you help me further on?
