Folks Trouble: DHCP gets IP addr, but doesn't create /etc/resolv.conf
I have had trouble like this on another system, but just ignored, now that I have hit it on another system I would like to find out a solution. Can someone help. During installation the installer didn't like the network card, when I setup to use network it hung and died. So I installed it without networking enabled hoping to enable it after. Once install was completed, I use the Start->Administration->Configure devices and connection Then clicked on the interface (igb0), set DHCP, then activate. I saw ifconfig showed the new interface. I always do this on every new solaris install since it doesn't seem to be created automatically during install for my system name to be visible. - Edit /etc/hostname.igb0 (add inet <myhostname>) I rebooted. Other external systems can see this new machine name when i do nslookup my-machine. Noticed that /etc/revolv.conf wasn't created automatically as it did on my other solaris boxes. So I just copied one from another on the same network. Now nslookup <external_machine> works right. but still when I say ping #ping ext-machine ping: unknown host ext-machine but nslookup shows it ok. Any idea how to fix this lookup problem? Btw: reverse lookup also works fine. I think the problem is /etc/resolv.conf not being created automatically causes some trouble, cant figure out how to fix it.
