Notice my domain name? [3-rivers.com] Yes, I know. Nevertheless... ____________________________________________________________________ From RFC 1035: The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less. ____________________________________________________________________ So, you got a domain that shouldn't exist. Nobody ever said NetSol was perfect. Of course, I might have missed an RFC that updates this rule. If so, please point it out. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
