Re: Seem to be hitting a snag.
Take a look at /etc/resolv.conf. It needs to have some lines
in it. Mine looks like;
domain CRAY.COM
search cray.com sgi.com
nameserver 128.162.xx.xx
nameserver 128.162.xx.xx
Where the nameserver lines point to the ip address of the DNS host
or domain name server.
Also take a look at your /etc/gateways file. Mine looks like:
net default gateway 128.162.xx.xx metric 1
where the ip address points to the gateway here.
BTW, the "xx" was really a 1 2 or 3 digit number less than 256
that was removed for security. 8^) Don't try to use those exact
entries, but substitue the ip address of your DNS host and gateway.
