Janet, I'm running a small test program on Malbec that prints-out the IP address of host "600644362.tssmob.net" that it gets from the gethostbyname() system-call every 5 seconds. I'm hoping I can use this program to diagnose the problem. I'm getting help from our system administrator, Mike Schmidt, whose forgotten more about operating-systems than most people will ever learn. :-) Regards, Steve Emmerson
