This is what I get step-by step:
#Typing <ifconfig>, I get:
etho inet addr: 100.XX.XX.75 Bcast: 100.XX.XX.255
RX packets: 1100 errors:0 dropped: 0 overruns:0
Obtaining this info, then I type-
# <ping 100.XX.XX.75> (assuming this is my ip address)
I get:
64 bytes from 100.XX.XX.75: icmp_seq=1....68 ttl=65 time=0.156 ms
However, when I try to ping some site by typing-
# <ping www.xyz.com>, I get:
ping: unknown host www.xyz.com
As suggested, then I tried to check my DNS setting at /etc/resolv.conf. The entry there was "nameserver 127.0.0.1"
I vi into /etc/resolv.conf file and changed the entry to "nameserver 100.XX.XX.75". Thinking, this is it but unfortunately still the ping command (ping www.xyz.com) does not work.
Last but not least, then I tried nslookup by typing <nslookup> at the prompt. The note I get was,
"Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the 'dig' and 'host' programs instead."
Following the instructions, I typed <host www.xyz.com> and got the message, "connection timed out; no servers could be reached".
Looking into /etc/nsswitch.conf, I did noted that it displayed
hosts: files dns
.......
.......
.......
Please let me know if you have any other options to recommend.
Thank you so much and regards.........

rpc.nisd_resolv
rpc.nisd_resolv(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.nisd_resolv(1M) NAME
rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon SYNOPSIS
rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V] [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy] DESCRIPTION
rpc.nisd_resolv is an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B option or ypserv(1M) with the -d option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options. This command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to verify communication with a DNS nameserver. See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M). OPTIONS
-F Run in foreground. -C fd Use fd for service xprt (from nisd). -v Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon. -V Verbose. Send output to stdout. -t xx Use transport xx. -p yy Use transient program# yy. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWnisu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
nslookup(1M), rpc.nisd(1M), resolv.conf(4), attributes(5) NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the Solaris 9 operating environment.
