I'm real good at doing things like that! =P Just try following a ton of links via Google and Ubuntu Forums for a week or two, not really knowing what you are doing ... Works like a charm - a bad-luck charm! currently set to 127.0.0.1 localhost Dell-Mint Dell-Ubuntu Hostname is set as "Dell-Ubuntu". Left the "Del-Mint" in case some little program somewhere is looking for it... OK, looks like localhost is set to display a root directory. I'll have to look around for it. Should be around /opt/lampp/something... Now, what would something like: 127.0.0.1 placename 127.0.1.1 placename do? If I entered "placename" would it go to the second address since it was called last? Is there ever any reason for setting something up like that? BTW- I did find out my default swat u/p - same as root name and password. So, now - how do I get lampp (apache2, mysql, php, whatever) to autostart on computer start? Coming soon: More SAMBA questions! *yeah* Emil ======================= Fantasy Football Rules: Wands are Offensive.
