[SunHELP] DHCP help

[Leslie V Brigance]

David,
I'm sure you're aware of this already because you have other boxen getting
to the Internet
but how (what) are you using for address translation to change your
192.x.x.x to something
allowed out on the net?
Is that device (firewall, router, etc) aware of your hard coded address?

Les

You don't need to switch it back to dhcp.  Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf
file, make sure the hosts line looks like hosts: dns, files.  Also make
sure you have a resolv.conf that has your DNS servers in it.
