From: hadi motamedi on 28 Apr 2010 08:08 Dear All To connect my Solaris8 Sparc to Internet , I configured the followings on my Solaris8 server: /etc/hosts : set the ip address /etc/netmasks : set the netmask here /etc/resolv.conf : set the DNS server ip address here /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/defaultrouter : set the GW ip address here Use of route command to define route To this end, my Solaris8 can ping the DNS server and valid ip addresses but it cannot resolve url addresses. Can you please let me know what is missing in my case? Thank you
