How can you ping, if you don't know the IP or host name.
What application are you using? What happens if you use the ftp command.
I think the problem is that the name can't be resolved (IE Paul has a host name. Just no IP). ping SOMEHOST and ftp://SOMEHOST both return unknown host, so without knowing the IP address off the top of your head or being able to go to a box that can reach that host via its name, your stuck. -Chris Kwasneski System Engineer Yuma Proving Grounds, AZ
