How to set DNS server on Tru64 5.1B?

[ericfjchen]

We have set the /etc/resolv.conf as below,

domain mycompany.com
nameserver 10.xx.xx.xx
nameserver 10.xx.xx.xx

However, we can't still resolver to look up the name as given. How should we do?

Hi,

you can check that with nslookup.

Make sure you changed your svc.conf file to reflect you are using DNS

or simple read the documentation which also contains a troubleshooting section. But reading seems to be a problem in your case.... ;-)
