[QUOTE="np223, post: 5944"] I'm puzzled by DNS protocols in Jaguar. My ISP seems to be doing something funny with its DNS servers as I can only connect to websites by using their IP numbers. I'm thus assigned a working IP number and have an active connection. The bit that puzzles me is that, in Terminal, the prompt usually changes from something like "[ Johns-Computer:~ ] john%" to something like "[ isp-1-85.68.77.12:~ ] john%" when you have a working connection. This doesn't happen any more. Does anyone know, is there a link between the DNS lookupd and the host awareness of Terminal? Thanks a million, Nathan [/QUOTE]
