Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback -- I totally agree.  Unfortunately, our network
administrator doesn't feel the same way (that it's not too much trouble).  He
has set up everything with static IP addresses for "security reasons" so we
don't have a DHCP server... and with that no DNS server, since Dynamic DNS would
require maintaining both the files for forward and reverse lookup...

However, I have at least set up WINS on my Samba PDC :)

Thanks again,
Matt
