resolv.conf & the internet

Hi I have DNS setup on Solaris 10 thought it isn't reoslveing Internet addresses properly

If I traceroute The UNIX and Linux Forums - the Top UNIX & Linux Q&A on the Web, I get to a hop to my DSL router but no further hops

  • DNS Client & Multicast services are running
  • nsswitch.conf is from nsswitch.dns
  • /etc/hosts have 127.0.0.1 & the static ip of the unit configured
  • resolv.conf is set*
  • a windows client sucessfully connects to the internet so the DSL router is eliminated
  • Only 1 entry, nameserver 192.168.1.1 ; the domain keyword is not used as i'm using this as a stand-alone box - is this accepted fo reslov.conf?

thx in advance

UNIX & Linux prefer actual nameservers as a number of DS don't refer the DNS queries for *NIX boxes
