Hi Paul, First of all thank's for your answer. I've the next:

    /etc/nsswitch.conf ->

        ---
        host:    dns files
        ---

and in /etc/resolv.conf ->

          domain            <my domain: gaia.es>
           nameserver    <the nameserver >
           nameserver    <the nameserver >

but netscape doesn't go, I don't know. What do you thing????
thank's in advance.

Edit your '/etc/nsswitch'
file. On the 'hosts' line, insert "dns" before the "files" entry. The line
will appear similar to the following:
hosts  
dns files
Next, edit your
'/etc/resolv.conf' file. If it doesn't exist, create it. It should look
like this (without the lee-than and greater-than symbols):
domain <yourdomain.com>
 nameserver <nameserver1.ip.address>
 nameserver <nameserver2.ip.address>
That should be
it.

Hi friends,
    I've a problem
(no in Houston), when I do a PING
to some address, for example ping
204.178.107.237
everything is all rigth, but If I try to put: ping www.yahoo.com, it told
me that: ping
: unknow host www.yahoo.com
an then with anyaddress. I need install netscape, but like my computer
doesn't recognize URL's, I cann't use it.
     My computer
is a netra 4000 (SUN), with Solaris 2.5.1, and I thing the routes are Ok.
    Thank's 
a lot in advance for some help.
