You dont need DNS specicifcally, as long as the resolver can resolve the FQDN to an IP address youre fine. I.e. adjust the hosts-file so that the FQDN is beein resolved.

What is FQDN ?

Im not very familiar with Solaris.

Could you be more specific so that i can bypass this.

Just so you know Solaris didnt find the driver for my ethernet card(dlink) so i dotn have internete access or any networking.

So i was hoping just to see how it works but i cant put anything in the DNS field for it to let me through.

My 5 cents.

vi /etc/hosts

Edit the 127.0.0.1 localhost line and put after localhost xxx.whatever.xxx

If you dont have a ethernert card and a ip address you dont need to do the next.

In old solaris systems (I dont know 10), you have to look for a file in /etc with the name of the driver_xxx and put there the name you want. Then in the same /etc/hosts file you put the same name, and the ip address you want., and BTW a FQDN Full Qualified Domain Name: xxx.whatever.xxx

But in plain linux the first aproach is enough.
