Hi,

I recently purchased a used Sun Ultra so
that I can learn Unix.

I am looking for information on how to define a resolve.conf and what to put inside this file to get my new machine to surf the web, ftp, telnet, etc.. I issued the cmd nslookup and it said "Default Servers not Available"

Can someone lend assistance, Thanks..


Cheers

Remember that the file is called
resolv.conf and not resolve.conf

The search entry defines a series
of domains that is searched when a
hostname does not contain a dot.

The nameserver entries identify,
by IP address, the servers that the
resolver is to query for domain
information.
They are queried in the order that
they appear in the file.

------------

#Domain name resolver config file
#
#
#Data file for a client.
search domain01.com
search domain02.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

------------

Good luck.
