    Running tru64 V5.1, I can ping and ftp by IP address, but not by name. I can
    nslookup so I think the name server setup is OK. Can anyone help so I can
    ftp by name rather than having to type in an IP address. Thanks.

    Example:
     
    alpha01> nslookup www.yahoo.com
    Server: ns2.theriver.com
    Address: 205.216.137.4

    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: www.yahoo.akadns.net
    Addresses: 66.94.230.45, 66.94.230.32, 66.94.230.33, 66.94.230.34
              66.94.230.37, 66.94.230.39, 66.94.230.42, 66.94.230.43
    Aliases: www.yahoo.com

    alpha01> ping www.yahoo.com
    ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com

    alpha01> ping 66.94.230.45
    PING 66.94.230.45 (66.94.230.45): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 66.94.230.45: icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=101 ms
    64 bytes from 66.94.230.45: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=93 ms

    Here are the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/svc.conf:

    /etc/resolv.conf

    nameserver 205.216.137.4
    nameserver 205.216.137.2

    /etc/svc.conf
