Post the ouput from the following commands:

Also, does "man nsswitch.conf" give you a man page?
Hi,
ls -l /etc/nsswitch.* gave me a list of 5 files:

nsswitch.compat
nsswitch.files
nsswitch.hp-defaults
nsswitch.nis
nsswitch.nisplus

uname -a gave the following info:
HP-UX hpunix B.11.11 U 9000/712 2004698268 unlimited_user license

And man nsswitch.conf did give me a man page.....large isnt it!

It looks like nsswitch.files can be used to create a nsswitch.conf file, but i'm uncertain as to the changes needed at the moment.

The envioment i'm in is a windows Workgroup with a WinXP system running internet connection shareing. So that XP system is providing IP addresses etc for the network.

Thanks for any help you can give ;-)
Phil
