solaris 2.6

[Sematimba Noah <ksemat at wawa.eahd.or.ug>]

Hello again,
I have this interesting problem. I have just installed solaris 2.6 on a
sparc netra and my problem is that it does not seem to accept to use DNS
at all. I set up resolv.conf with a proper name server and if I do
nslookup I get proper responses the problem is that the solaris does not
seem to utilize DNS in the other sections like its hotjava web browser or
ftp thus I can't browse the net with it. Interestingly though, If I use a
proxy server instead of a transparent NAT box it browses fine but if I
just set a default rule and remove the proxy settings it just won't do it
which makes it useless for my purpose since I need to use it to ftp and
pop and etc without using IPs. Also in solaris which file does one edit to
make changes to the routing table permanent?
thanks ,

 Noah
