Allright,
Thanks to http://docs.sun.com I've got the tcp/ip portion of my box working now. I can see anything I want, as long as it's got a numerical address.
Does anyone know how to add just a DNS entry? like reference my dns server, and configure my host name?
Victory,
Allright, I finialy got it to work. Here I am, finialy with DNS settings working..
for anyone who ever needs a reference here they are:
tcp/ip settings.
hostname.interface (ie hostname.elxl0)
<add your ip to this document>
nodename
add your local machine name
defaultdomain
your.domain
defaultrouter
your router/gateway usualy xxx.xxx.subnet.1
hosts
this is a table of
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
<your.ip>
dns:
nsswitch.conf
add to hosts: dns files
add the dns part
add to recolv.conf:
domain: your.domain (ie uri.edu)
search: your.domain
nameserver: <NameServer IP>
I hope this helps someone out in the future..
All of these files are found in
/etc/
