hi,

you have to configure the nameservers to query for nslookup to work, or it' possible that already configured nameservers are not reachable.

in the first case, edit /etc/inet resolv.conf so that it contains the ip addresses of your nameservers (those may be your company nameservers or public nameservers), like:
Code:
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the ip address of the nameserver.

in the second case, it may be a networking issue or some issue with the configured nameservers.
see ya

P.S.
it may be valuable to have a look at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/solari...iguration.html
