From your description, it sounds like the necessary entry was in the "/etc/hosts" file some time ago, which is why the LDM worked then. That file could only have been changed by someone with root privileges, so it's possible that the IT patch removed the entry. I suggest contacting IT to ensure that it doesn't happen again. > Thanks again... > > David Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UHA-103928 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
