I have done the following thus far: added my host and its nameservers to my /etc/hosts Placed hosts before bind in /etc/host.conf Added the following to my /etc/netstart: gateway=slip-gateway ifconfig sl0 inet $hostname $gateway netmask 0xffffff00 route add default $gateway I've added my hosts nameserver entries to /etc/resolv.conf What I can't seem to do is figure out how to give my localhost (name ears.islenet.com) the dynamic IP address. Any advice would be appreciated. Dan
