Error unknown host
Hello RTM

Firstly , thanks a lot for your quick reply.The solution worked like a charm.
A couple of followup questions though.

1) When the system boots , I get the following message followed by a warning.

Configuring IPV4 interface elx10
Starting DHCP on Primary interface
Warning : elx10 Link Failure

The system comes up and seems to work fine. Can this warning cause any
potential issues later. I'll eventually be installing Oracle10g on it .

2) When I ping this solaris system (mars.acme.int) from a different pc
(Windows 2000 Professional ) using ping mars.acme.int , I get
unknown host message. To solve this I added the following entry in
C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

10.96.9.221 mars.acme.int

After this, I was able to ping . My question here is , is there a way to
ping successfully without modifying hosts file on a PC.

Thanks
luft .
