Yea, I got that part but why does it do that when you are using the IP |
| 34 |
number to go to it? That was what was confusing me. Up until that |
| 35 |
time, I didn't even name the systems since all I used them for was to |
| 36 |
run folding. After I named them and put the entries in the hosts file, |
| 37 |
it worked fine even when ssh'ing in with the IP number. Before that, it |
| 38 |
took forever to login. |

I would think that it would just go straight to it without a look-up at |
| 41 |
that point. Then again, I'm not networking guru either. |
