[QUOTE="rman, post: 5949, member: 23"] I have not played with the under pinnings of Mac OS X much, as I have of other favors of Unix. I know the name of your computer is defined when you give it your name on set up. In the configuration of the computer you gave it johns and it appended computer to johns in creating the node name. Jaguar can resolve IP address to name and reverse the look up (names to ip address). This is a part of the Unix under pinnings. I think it is more of the ISP. I believe that Mac OS X get the DNS information from the ISP. You don't have to enter the DNS information , since we are using DHCP. [/QUOTE]
