I cannot access a host even though it exists.  (None of the TCP/IP tools
work.)


yunching@Ami-chan:~% nslookup www.bcc.com.tw
Server:  NETSERVER.ANDREW.CMU.EDU
Address:  128.2.35.50

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    BCC_WWW.BCC.COM.TW
Address:  203.69.33.1
Aliases:  www.bcc.com.tw

yunching@Ami-chan:~% ping www.bcc.com.tw
ping: unknown host www.bcc.com.tw
yunching@Ami-chan:~% uname -a
FreeBSD Ami-chan.res.cmu.edu 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Fri Sep 20 09:52:56 EDT 1996     root@Ami-chan.res.cmu.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL05  i386


I am running FreeBSD-2.2-CURRENT supped and built on Sep 20.  I was
running 080196-SNAP, and it was working before.  I am not aware of any
other hostname that will cause this problem.

For the short term, I will just put the hostname and IP in /etc/hosts,
but I would appreciate a more long-term solution.

Please cc: me any suggestion this problem, as I'm not on questions list.
I am on current list.
