Hi Tom,

I'm glad you got things working.  Thank you for
the update.

One thing you could try on your old machine is the
nslookup command:
        nslookup <machineName>     or
        nslookup <IP Address>
This will give you some idea of whether your name
server is working like you expect.  If the results
aren't what you would like, depending on how your
system is configured you could possibly solve the
problem by entering the informtion in /etc/hosts. 
But, hey, if it's working to your satisfaction,
who cares?

Anne
