solaris unknown host or invalid literal address
Posted on 2001-07-17
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
Chen.

I think the problems are related and both due to improper name resolution. It's unclear how you want it to work and what resources are available on your network.
