I'll check the server tomorrow and see if it returns an error. I know that it can resolve external IP's to their host names, since typing
http://x.x.x.x into a browser will resolve it no problem, but it can't establish a connection. What's even weirder is that it has no problem pinging external web servers, yet it can't establish http or ftp connections with them.

are you blocking all traffic at the router? can you ping servers outside your network?
I can ping anything outside of the network. Also, Solaris is running in a DMZ with all mailing ports forwarded to it, so the router's ACL lists should not pose a problem.

also, why o why are you running vmware and installing solaris with domino on top of that? domino is a f'in hog and probably one of the worst applications i've ever ran into. just thinking about running "server" gives me the chills. anyway, what does format say about how much you have allocated per drive/slice etc.
"format" as in a command? Sorry but my UNIX is a little rusty. I'll check that out sometime tomorrow as well and get back to you.
Also, the reason I'm running it in VMware is because (for all sorts of reasons) I have to run it in virtualization, and VirtualPC doesn't support Solaris 10 as easily as VMware does.
