First of all, you need to detangle routing and name services, so that you can figure out which one is having trouble here. What routes do you have? Do you have a default route pointing at your local router? Try using "ping -n" for that external address -- the "-n" flag says "print IP addresses as numbers." That will avoid confusing results with DNS problems. What does "route get 75.9.12.252" report? Next, how is DNS configured? You say you've "updated" the files, but I don't know what that means. Do you have /etc/resolv.conf? What's in it? What is set in /etc/nsswitch.conf for "hosts" and "ipnodes"? Try doing "getent hosts www.sun.com". Does that work? There's nothing special that you should need to set in Netscape to make it work, but if you've previously set proxy or pac addresses or the like, then that could cause trouble. It's worth checking to make sure it says "direct Internet connection." Also, for what it's worth, Solaris 8 is not OpenSolaris, so you're really asking the wrong mailing list for help. Try bigadmin: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.html or one of Sun's local support groups. Note also that Solaris 8 is EOL, so I'd really encourage you to upgrade, if that's possible. New versions of Solaris are free and have many useful new features. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
