Reply: (edit)2 things to check: Make sure you have a resolv.conf file #
#resolv.conf file
#
domain something.net (your domain name)
nameserver 192.168.0.1 (your local ip address)
nameserver 216.13.65.12 (your isp's dns address)
nameserver 216.13.68.12 (your isp's dns address) Edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf file which tells the Solaris where to go for name resolution. cp nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
or
cp nsswitch.files nsswitch.conf Make sure the hosts line reads: files, dns if fixing these 2 files doesn't help. I have a whole website with how to's on this and related topics: http://www.techgirl-net.com/ Good Luck!

Reply: (edit)hi,
edit your nameserver ip in /etc/resolv.conf file nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
search your domain name after that check with nslookup command.
