I'm wondering whether anybody can help me ? I have two main PC's, a 98 machine for the kids and games, and my 7.3 machine, which I use on a day to day basis. Both of which run Seti continuosly.... My connection to the internet is via an old 486 that I have which runs FREESCO. All the machines are connected via a hub. The problem I have is that whilst the 98 machine will connect first time on completion of a work-unit, the SuSE box will fail with a gethostbyname message - resource not available message. Freesco then drops the connection until the next hourly attempt and the same thing happens. I have to stop Seti, start it, to initiate a connection, when it fails, restart Seti and as Freesco is now established, Seti will download the unit and its business as usual. I'm told that there is nothing I can do in Seti, is there a way round this ? many thanks Pete
