Check /etc/nsswitch.conf has DNS on the hosts: entry. I think it defaults to nisplus.

Ok,

I know this is not the list to send this to, but it is the most responsive list. I have a DNS question. I just installed Solaris 8 on 
one of our servers. I reconfigured the network files back to the way 
they were originally. This is a copy of my /etc/resolv.conf file:

domain it.utk.edu
nameserver 160.36.0.66
nameserver 160.36.128.66
nameserver 128.169.50.100

When I do an nslookup I get the following error:
***Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available

It doesn't seem like it looks for the name servers in the resolv.conf  
file. Am I missing something?
