Operating Systems HP-UX UX 11iV2 - No ping by hostname Post 302133821 by netwalker on Sunday 26th of August 2007 09:38:37 AM
Old 08-26-2007
192.168.200.1 is ADSL modem/router, it provides DHCP on demmand and resolves external (Internet) DNS.
I checked out - routers domain name is ar7, so I changed domain name of my system to this one in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf HOSTNAME=hp-j5000.ar7.
Also I registred this computer with hostname to my router, but still there is the same problem, because my router does not resolves internal DNS (it has no such option).

Interesting point, that Solaris 10 for example, resolves DNS from /etc/hosts.
Is there way to enfoce my HP-UX to resolve names from /etc/hosts too?

P.S. Now, CDE logs off automatically without error messages. I don't know if it's better or worse than situation with error message... Smilie

NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con- tain these two lines: nameserver IP-address domain domain-name The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network. The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of the local host is used. The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5). FILES
/etc/resolv.conf DNS resolver configuration file. SEE ALSO
