Victory,



Allright, I finialy got it to work. Here I am, finialy with DNS settings working..
for anyone who ever needs a reference here they are:

tcp/ip settings.
hostname.interface (ie hostname.elxl0)
<add your ip to this document>

nodename
add your local machine name

defaultdomain
your.domain

defaultrouter
your router/gateway usualy xxx.xxx.subnet.1

hosts
this is a table of
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
<your.ip>

dns:
nsswitch.conf

add to hosts: dns files
add the dns part
add to recolv.conf:
domain: your.domain (ie uri.edu)
search: your.domain

I hope this helps someone out in the future..

defaultdomain

defaultdomain(4)						   File Formats 						  defaultdomain(4)

NAME

       defaultdomain - specify host's domain name

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/defaultdomain

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  /etc/defaultdomain  determines  a host's domain name for direct use by the NIS and NIS+ name services. The defaultdomain file is
       read at boot time and its contents used by the domainname(1M) command. Because of its use by domainname, defaultdomain is also used by  the
       LDAP  service  (see ldap(1)). Under certain, narrow circumstances (see resolv.conf(4)), because domainname uses defaultdomain, a DNS client
       can use the contents of defaultdomain.

       The contents of defaultdomain consists of a single line containing a host's domain name.

SEE ALSO

       nis+(1), uname(1), ldapclient(1M), nisclient(1M), ypbind(1M), ypinit(1M), resolv.conf(4)

NOTES

       The defaultdomain file is created and modified by Solaris installation and configuration scripts. Only users knowledgeable of name  service
       configuration should edit the file.

SunOS 5.10							 22 February 2000						  defaultdomain(4)
