(and in this case, i do not plan to donate my laptop:-). the key to playing successfully at minneapolis is to configure your home forward dns server now, before you fly. and if you need help (*after* reading <http://ops.ietf.org/dns/dynupd/secure-ddns-howto.html>) whine at <dynamic53@ops.ietf.org>. note, folk not running unix or linux will not be able to play. we still need a hack to make the windows dhcp client wiggle. randy
