So isn't that the easy answer to the original question about getting the IP address for the SuSE ftp site (and one that doesn't depend on the site being pingable)?
Yes, I think so. The problem is, of course, windows: a quick search of my windows partition does not show a host.exe or com file. And a new user installing linux by FTP is probably using windows to try get that info, and "ping" is the common thing to do. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
