Routing problem on new S10 install
I have a small network with a PC running FreeBSD, a DSL router/modem, an Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6 and an Ultra 5 with a new Solaris 10 install. The network config. was set up similar to the S2.6 box. The S10 box can access all hosts on the network including the DSL modem but an attempt go outside the local network results in an unknown host message.

netstat -rn shows the routing table seems ok. There is a default route to the DSL modem and it is marked UG. /etc/nsswitch.conf is set to files. /etc/resolv.conf has proper nameserver ip addresses. /etc/defaultrouter has the ip address of the modem.

What have I overlooked?
Best regards,
Fred

/etc/nssswitch.conf needs the "dns" entry for "hosts".

That fixed it!

Thanks!
