I setup a home network with comcast broadband. I was able to config the router and my sun box IP and I'm able to use nslookup to lookup www.yahoo.com and any website. But when I ping the website, or use netscape with yahoo site, it says site can't be found.

That's all.
I'm able to use nslookup to find www.yahoo.com but not with ping.

Hi!
Probably your /etc/nsswitch.conf file is not correctly setup. It should contain a line like the following
hosts: dns files
Nslookup uses the dnsserver directly, so it works fine. All other programs to resolve hostnames use what nsswitch.conf tells them to use. That's why you need that line. The line says: "to resolve host names use first dns and then /etc/hosts"
