I guess I do ask a lot of stupid questions on this newsgroup (once I asked what an ATM card was...), has it earned me a reputation? Yes, of course I've tried it twice. And twice again. And again this morning. Is there a way to set the timeout on an nslookup (I'm setting at an NT box here, no man pages)? Netscape waits about 10 seconds before it gives me an error message. Is it trying multiple times, or does it set a longer timeout? The good news is that whois reveals that juggernautsearch.com is registered with Network Solutions and was last updated 23-sep-1999. It reveals two nameservers (ns[1|2].playmate.nu), neither of which respond to a ping. Okay, now something new is happening. nslookup waits for 55.62 seconds and responds that juggernautsearch.com doesn't exist. A traceroute to either of the nameservers completes the 1st 14 hops successfully, drops the middle packet on the 15th hop, and drops all three packets for hops 16-30. The 1st and 3rd packets on the 15th hop completed in 30/35 ms. The 15th hop is gige-g9-0.gsr12012.sjc.he.net The first two octets of it's IP match those of the nameservers. he.net is Hurricane Electric Internet Services and they're running apache. I've e-mail their tech support. Anyone have any more ideas for me. I'll be dammed if I have to write my own robot. Anyone know of another free robot for perl or something I can run on win32? -- Adam
