Question :
----------
We experience a difficulty on our sun sparc workstation.
The problem is we set up machine stand alone and now we can't
reach the internet even if the machine has an IP number. We want
use another machine's name server to establish the internet connection.
What can we do about this matter?
ANSWER :
--------
If you are running solaris, etd /etc/nsswitch.conf to change
the hosts line from
hosts: files
to
hosts: files dns
and then add /etc/resolv.conf (mode 644) with your domain name
and name server list.
If you are running sunos 4.1.x, you need to modify /usr/lib/libc.so
according to the procedure in the sun managers FAQ.
