Hi,

On the solaris machine I'm working, I'm able to ping the machines with IP
addresses.  But when I try to ping a web server with its domain name, it's
giving a message "Not found".  It's unable to resolve the domain names.

Which configuration files need to be changed to rectify this problem?

Thanks in advance

Sriram
