DNS lookup
Hi all,
Here's my problem. I have Solaris 10 setup with a working rtls0 card. I can ping my own computer by name, i.e., ping neptune, I can pin my router, ping 192.168.1.1, and I can nslookup www.sun.com just fine as well. My problem is when I try to ping www.sun.com. I don't get any answer. ping 72.5.124.61 doesn't work either. Any suggestions?
I can't use sys-unconfig since the nameservers are my ISPs and the default installation gets confused when it can't find neptune in their DNS records. I have setup hosts, nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf, and defaultrouter by hand.

DNS not active for hosts in /etc/nsswitch.conf?

No, seems like that though huh? Here's the results of my diagnostics, it's blowing my mind.
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rtls0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.101 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:5:5d:49:ee:ff
# ping neptune
neptune is alive
# ping www.sun.com
no answer from www.sun.com
# nslookup www.sun.com
Server: 66.75.164.90
Address:66.75.164.90#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:www.sun.com
Address: 72.5.124.61
# /sbin/dhcpinfo Router
192.168.1.1

It's working. I set my router up to not respond to pings and it looks like it won't pass any ICMP info beyond it. LOL, I typed http://www.sun.com into my browser and I get a webpage. TY all for your help.Message was edited by: Unrested
