"me too" ;-)

We have also noticed this, sometimes when doing a sh ses the users ip
address shows, other times its their number. Currently we are only using
static addresses.

Sometimes netscape etc gives us problems when a user tries to go somewhere,
a DNS error comes up, but after a few minutes of waiting, and a reload it
goes away.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers
