When you add the name server in step 7, you should use "dns2", not "orion" - just enter the IP address in the second field. After that, you won't need step 8. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 11:46 AM -0500 7/8/03, David Schaefer wrote: >Greeting QuickDNS'ers: > >We're getting a new T1 circuit tomorrow and will be slowly moving >over, replacing our SDSL (yay!).
