Sorry Dale, we are one of those providers that restricts transfers.. Reason being, we had an incident a while back where a dialup customer from an ISP in another state did a zone transfer on our network to find out what was where on our network. Then he got a dialup account with us and began snooping via a shell account here. This set off some alarms, and my Linux Tech canned him after finding our zone files in his home directory. Did not do any damage, but we noticed this activity and thought we should do things to prevent it again. We also setup access lists in our router to prevent dialup customers on our network from snooping around at our servers, or our customer servers. I can add you servers here to the list of "OK" to do zone transfers, or if you have a static IP abroad, let me know and we will add it so you can do transfers. take care. jer www.hostdrive.com "VC" You know, "VC" used to stand for VietCong.. Now it stands for Venture Capitalist... I ask you; what's the difference? Hey, I bought my Apple Stock @ $18, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!!!
