Hi, I have Solaris 10 running in VMware on a winxp box so I can learn unix. I can 'ping' all the boxes on our network and yahoo.com (but only if I use the IP address I get back from pinging from an xp box). The error message from the terminal window is unknown host and from a browser www.sun.com could not be found. This is obviously a resolution issue but I don't think it's an xp thing as I installed win2k on VMware and I can get internet access with that.

Oddly enough, I can ping from an xp box to any of our windows boxes by both name and IP and get a reply, but I can only succesfully ping my virtual Solaris box by IP plus I can't ping any ms boxes by name - any ideas?
