How to setup the internet on sun solaris sparc

[maryam421]

I am trying to configure internet on my sun sparc ultra five. I have made an entry in /etc/defaultrouter. The entry is the ip address of my router. I put an entry in resolve.conf file as ip address of router.
when I run netstat I got the following result:

# netstat -rn

Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
192.168.0.0 192.168.0.115 U 3 2 hme0
224.0.0.0 192.168.0.115 U 3 0 hme0
default 192.168.0.1 UG 0 0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 3757 lo0

But when I do ping on any url it gives me an error url not known please help. I also modified the entry in nsswitch.conf file to make to file and dns
Thanks

Is your router/gateway providing DNS?

here are some notes on resolve.conf

Directives(headers):

nameserver - IP address in dot notation of the name server the resolver should use.

domain - The local domain name. For use with short names in a local domain.

search - search list for hostname lookup. Use local doamin name.

Note: Can't use domain and search at the same time.

Example:
nameserver 192.168.10.45
domain tek-tips.com

Yes it is. And resolve.config has an entry for the router ip address. It was working fine and then i reinstalled my server that is how the I messed up.
Thanks for your reply!!

resolv.conf should only have the dns server addresses. The format is:

domain <yourdomain>
nameserver <ip address of dns>

Also, you will need an /etc/defaultrouter file with the router/gateway address in it.

You will also need to change the nsswitch.conf file to resolve using dns. cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
