OK.  That fixed it.  So, I guess this system is stupid about whitespace.  Oh 
well.

Hmm.  I'll have to look into that.  I thought I had everything using the hosts
file first before DNS, but I'll have to check.  Once I get a bit farther with
this machine, I plan to load SunOS4 or NetBSD on an IPX to use as a 
boot/DNS/dhcp server.  I'm trying to set up these two boxes to take over for 
a win98 box running Windows Internet Connection Sharing.  Then maybe people
will stop looking at my computer room funny like.
