Hi Eric,

Check your ip and hostname in the host file.

# nslookup your_ip
# nslookup your_host_name

should have the same output.

HTH.

Using /etc/hosts on: hpbox

looking up FILES
Name: hpbox
Address: 127.0.0.1

Maybe the software is corrupt or not bundled properly.
What software are you trying to install..also look at the swinstall.log and swagent.log in /var/adm/sw

hi eric,

am i right to say when u "nslookup ", the IP address is 127.0.0.1, which is actually the localhost or loopback of the server.

would u like to post the content of /etc/hosts?

also, what is the exact commands and argument use with swinstall?

regards.

Eric,

Your /etc/hosts file should look this.

145.X.X.XX pluto pluto. loghost
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

Also check your /etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts: files

# swagentd -k
# swagentd -r

Try installing the software depot again.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

I had to change my ip so it didn't say my loopback adress, thanks for the help,
