It works only if I use the FQDN of pit.test.domainname. NSLOOKUP returns correct values and resolves correctly. IP settings same on both PC's. Disable firewall, defender just in case.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?</description><pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 05:21:09 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>pmills</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
