Thanks Dan (I had to kill nscd first, since it was running)...restarting nscd did the trick. <dan said> start nscd Dan Adrian Stovall <AdrianS@pfk.com> To: "Sun Managers Mailing List (E-mail)" Sent by: <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> sunmanagers-admin@sunma cc: nagers.org Subject: dhcp and dns resolution (ping, netscape, etc.) on Solaris 2.8 10/03/01 04:31 PM Hi, I'm new to 2.8, and just installed it on an intel box using DHCP for address assignment. I left Name service set to "none" (I'm just used to solaris 2.6, I guess) and manually set up nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf. nslookup works fine, but for some reason, netscape and ping insist that www.sun.com (for example) is an unknown host. How do I fix this?
