conects but cannot resolve names

Hello,

i just received an already installed Solaris 9 box and did:

# vi /etc/hostname.eri0

# vi /etc/hosts

# vi /etc/netmasks

# vi /etc/defaultrouter

# vi /etc/resolv.conf

# touch /etc/norouter

# reboot

...

# nslookup friendmachine

-> nice output here

# ping defaultrouter_IP

-> nice output here

# ping friendmachine

friendmachine: host/servname not known

To be sure i copied the /etc/resolv.conf from

friendmachine, also Solaris 9, and at the same subnet,

to the new machine and rebooted ...

Again the same happens. I checked many times the

contents of the above files for consistence in comparison

to the contents for the ones from friendmachine.

What could be that?

Thanks in advance ...
