I am using Solaris 10 for a Desktop OS , also router has been configured to connect to the net , but error 404 is coming always.

I add new gateway bout that did not worked , so guessing I need to add DNS but where .

DNS - /etc/resolv.conf
cp -p nsswitch.conf nsswitch.dns

Uh.. that should be

Code:

cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

Or you might consider DHCP if your network is capable..

You can configure the dhcp client not to set its hostname to "unknown" when no name is supplied by the dhcp server.

Hostname is only a minor bit of info a DHCP server can provide. More importantly, it can provide your IP, nameservers, domain name, and default router info... My node's all know their names. And I've had hosts with no name because I was too lazy to give them one
