Hello William,

Well I have it working now.  I added the server names to the host
file.  I'll go back and see if I can manually add the DNS and see how
that works. I'm still wondering why my G4 is not getting the DNS
info.  The window clients are getting the correct DNS info when they
make a VPN connection.

Let's check that...

On a Windows machine, open a command prompt by going to Start --> Run
and entering "cmd" without quotes. Click OK.

At the command prompt type "ipconfig /all" without quotes. Note any
DNS server IP addresses that you see. Also, note if you're getting any
entries for WINS servers.

On the Mac, open the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities. Type "dig"
without quotes and hit press Return. You should see IP addresses for
your DNS servers under the Additional Section.

If on the Windows machine you see WINS entries but no DNS then this is
what's doing name resolution and not DNS. You can manually enter a
WINS server entry on the Mac using /Applications/Utilities/Directory
Access/SMB.

Curious as to what you find...
