Access Solaris machine over http by hostname

Hi all,

I need to be able to connect to the web server enabled on my solaris box by hostname e.g. http://<hostname_of_solaris_box>. How can I achieve this?

I am able to access the web server via the IP of the solaris box but not the hostname. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dinesh.

Sounds like a DNS issue with the client.

Does "nslookup hostname" on the client work?
