hi all my original question was that i have added a virtual interface but after adding it the name resolution stopped working from browser. the problem was bcoz of my silly mistake. i had a spelling mistake in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.hme0:1. it was one of my collegue who spotted it and so that was it. thanks to all who replied and specially to Deborah who sent a detailed mail . regards laloo. Deborah writes I don't know if you ever got an answer to your question, but if you're using subnetting, don't forget about editing the /etc/netmasks file as well and that you have "ip forwarding" turned on (ndd /dev/ip ip_forwarding). Also if you have duplicate additional local routes added (using ifconfig) and the virtual interface is on the same subnet, you may need to do a "route delete net" on that interface. Oh and did you create an entry for each of your virtual interfaces in the /etc/hosts with the hostname and IP address you want to use and if you're using NIS, NIS+ and/or DNS, you'll have to add the virtual interface's hostname there as well. cheers, -deb _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 25 21:00:47 2002
