Reverse lookup issue

I came back to my solaris 10 system after a week of being gone and xterm no longer work. I checked into it and the system doesn't reverse lookup my client system. There is a manual entry for my system in the /etc/hosts file and a forward lookup works fine, but I still can't get reverse lookup. Any suggestions?

Sorry to bother everyone, appearantly my nic didn't initialize correctly, I had to reboot the client.
