Hello Our resolv.conf seems ok. It has the following lines: domain ruclaservices.local search ruclaservices.local nameserver 192.168.0.1 When we run nslookup on a Windows PC on the remote side, we get the following results: > nslookup rs-svr1.ruclaservices.local Server: rs-svr1.ruclaservices.local Address: 192.168.0.1 Name: rs-svr1.ruclaservices.local Address: 192.168.0.1 > nslookup rs-svr1 Server: rs-svr1.ruclaservices.local Address: 192.168.0.1 *** rs-svr1.ruclaservices.local can't find rs-svr1: Non-existent domain Regards, Georges Carraha mailto:CarrahaG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Aruba Digital Systems N.V.
