[SunHELP] Help! Having dns resolution problems

[Michael Karl]

Do you have changed the '/etc/nsswitch.conf'
like this:

::::::::::::::
nsswitch.conf
::::::::::::::
#
# /etc/nsswitch.files:
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it
# does not use any naming service.
#
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the
# /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports.
