Hello
I am attempting to set up DNS and after setting stuff up according to the FM
I try to do an nslookup ( after starting named ). I type nslookup and the
error message " Can't find initialize address for server: Non-existent domain".
pops up followed by "Default server: localhost" and Address: 127.0.0.1".
does anyone have any idea what I have done wrong here ? Any help would be
appreciated.
System: Sparc 2
SunOS 4.1.2
Using Bind and Dns stuff that came with SunOs.
Domainname command yields cch.com ( as it should ).
If I have left out any essential info please let me know.

As usual the response was quick and accurate.
Many of you spotted the problem immediately and correctly pointed to the
/etc/resolv.conf file as the problem. Turned out to be a line that was
commented by accident ( red face ). I guess the result of too many hours
sitting in front of a console.
Anyway, thank you all for the responses, and the next time I ** will ** check
the basic first.
