Months ago, when I upgraded to NetWare 6, I skipped the 'Setting Up Domain Name Service' section. I did not need DNS at the time, but now I do.

How can I enter the Host Name, Domain, Primary and Secondary IP's in my server?

Thanks.

Howdy,

I'm not exactally sure about 6, I personally am still stuck in the 4.x era. But on mine, you can configure the DNS's and the server's domain from UNICON under "Manage Global Objects" - "Server Properties".

Setting up the host name and IP's (again, for me on 4.x) was accomplished under INETCFG when I bound the protocol to the board. Also, mine auto selected its host name as the server name, i didn't have a choice.

Again, I can only say all this is true for 4.x as I don't have 6 to play with :-(

Good luck,
Ruscal

Ruscal, thanks for your help. I am not an expert on NetWare, but I think that UNICON is no longer available in Netware 6. However, INETCFG, as you mentioned, is still there, and I will use it to configure the 'resolv.cfg' file. Someone told me to reconfigure, manually, the "hosts" file, under SYS:ETC.
