Hi, I have some problem with hostname-to-IP address translation. Because my net works fine when I put IP address in the browser.
Can anyone suggest a solution in details for this problem.

I had the same problem just today. This is what I did, hope it helps: --Put the address of the default gateway in the /etc/defaultrouter file --Put ip addresses of dns nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf (in the form "nameserver ", without the quotation marks and using the actual ip address in the place of ) --Copied /etc/nsswitch.conf to /etc/nsswitch.old and copied /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf
Hope this helps.
