im trying, sorry for asking what may seem obvious questions...

ive tried enabling the nds asuming that this would be the correct syntax:

# svcadm enable dns

and get an error "pattern 'dns' doesnt match any instances"

use what "svcs -a | grep -i dns" shows you... and read the manpage for "svcadm"

p.s. google gives me something like this:
Configuring a DNS Server at Unix solaris 10 tutorials, training resources
its for a server but you can adopt this for a client setup...

other usefull things are here:
Browse Product Documentation
(as already mentioned above)

maybe start with some easier to setup linux distribution... solaris is not for the beginner!

have a look at ubuntu linux. its easy to install and to setup and also well documented with a lot of howto guides...

just before i give up...

I notice my system hasnt got a /etc/named.conf file, which i think i need to continue, and idea why it may be missing, or do i have to create it myself?

thanks

i've also been able to work out how to enable the dns services, but get this:

online 'time' svc:/network/dns/client:default
maintenance 'time' svc:/netowrk/dns/server:default

You don't need a named.conf file for a dns client.

Disable the dns/server service as you do not want to run it.
