Trouble resolving internet names

[Robert Anderson]

Currently running mixed environment of NT and HPUX 11.00. I can ping an address on the internet, which tells me routing is not the issue. An internet name does not get resolved. In NSLookup, it only looks at the /etc/hosts. Our NT environment currently has the Primary and Secondary DNS servers. How do I tell my HPUX boxes to query those DNS servers?

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

modify the file /etc/resolv.conf

Put the IP addresses of the primary and secondary server in that file.

example.

search juf.org juf.net
nameserver 10.1.10.39
nameserver 10.1.10.45
nameserver 10.1.10.47


The /etc/nssswitch.conf must also have DNS resolution first.

Example.

hosts: dns[NOTFOUND=continue] files

Hi:

Setup '/etc/resolv.conf' to look like:

domain xyz.com
nameserver 10.100.100.2
nameserver 10.101.101.3

Regards!
