[Macpartners] How do I set the default DNS domain under Tiger?

[Roger A. Roach]

Doug,

I can't verify it right now,  but I am pretty sure that it works if  
you fill in the "Search Domains" when you configure TCP/IP in the  
Network System Preferences.  I can check when I am at the office  
tomorrow.
