I have just installed solaris 2.5.1 and am trying to configure the network. I have set the /etc/defaultrouter file to the router, and I can now see the internet ok. But I can't get any name resolution, even after adding 2 dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf (syntax nameserver &lt;ip addr&gt;). Is there something else I need to do ? Thanks...

How to add name servers for name resolution

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
