Hello Everyone,
I am working on a HP-Unix machine and I am trying to get it to use the University's DNS servers. Long story short... the resolv.conf file is ok :
nameserver 149.150.51.1
nameserver 149.150.51.2
search shu.edu
The hosts file is ok.
And when I make the nsswitch.conf file say
hosts:files dns
The system can not access the DNS server, it times-out and revert to the hosts file.
If anyone can help or has had this similar problem.. help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Another clue I discovered is that I am unable to connect to any other server via ftp,telnet, etc.... Could the systems guys have put a firewall preventing the unix box to establish outgoing connections?
Would a different subnet or VPN create this problem??
