Your domain name is ameritech.net based on your e-mail address. To find out your host name under windows, do the following. 1. Go to start menu. 2. Go to settings. 3. Select control pannel. 4. Select networking. 5. Go down until your network cards tcp/ip protocal is selected, and tab over to and hit enter on properities. Hit shift+tab and you'll land on the ip address tab. Arrow left, until you are on the dns configuration tab control. Hit the tab key, and you should be on radio buttons to enable or disable dns. Hit the tab key again, and you should be on an edit box. This edit box will have your hostname. To configure your network under zipspeak, type netconfig . I know there is a dhcp choice there, but I've never configured a network interface for dhcp, so can't really help you there. Hth.
