Hi,<br />
<br />
actually it's 2 related problems, so I'm offering 200 points to whoever helps me solve these problems.<br />
First one , when I type in hostname it gives me &quot;unknown&quot;<br />
I've checked the /etc/hosts, nodename, /etc/inet/ti* hosts files and they are the same name. Don't know why it gives me &quot;unknown&quot;<br />
<br />
Next problem... when i do a ftp, for exmaple:<br />
ftp <a href="ftp://ftp.isc.org" rel="ugc">ftp.isc.org</a>, it gives me <br />
&quot;&nbsp;<a href="ftp://ftp.isc.org" rel="ugc">ftp.isc.org</a>: unknown host or invalid literal address&quot;<br />
<br />
I belive this is related to the one above. <br />
Thanks<br />
Chen.

Hi,

actually it's 2 related problems, so I'm offering 200 points to whoever helps me solve these problems.
First one , when I type in hostname it gives me "unknown"
I've checked the /etc/hosts, nodename, /etc/inet/ti* hosts files and they are the same name. Don't know why it gives me "unknown"

Next problem... when i do a ftp, for exmaple:
ftp ftp.isc.org, it gives me 
" ftp.isc.org: unknown host or invalid literal address"

I belive this is related to the one above. 
Thanks

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.
