Ping by hostname

Hello everyone

I have a partition with a problem with ping.

If I do a ping by ip for example ping 1.1.1.1 I got no problem but If I ping by hostname for example ping partition1 take almost a minute to respond me.

I have Aix 5.3 and I have another 19 partitions with no problem. The only one is this one. all of them with Aix 5.3

The network area told me that we dont have own DNS.

Do you have some tips or which files check. In the resolv.conf I got the dns name even we dont have one.


Thanks in advance for your comments

NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port OPTIONS
None DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names to IP addresses. NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root). OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X). Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works. ENVIRONMENT
None. FILES
None. SEE ALSO
