In order to be able to resolve hostnames, youneed to also add a nameserver to
the config.
In Solaris that's done by adding the ISP's nameserver to a file called:
-bash-3.2$ cat cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <ip-address-of ISP's-nameserver>
-bash-3.2$
You could also use a static one, like google:
Those would be:
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
So, if you place the following two lines into your /etc/resolv.conf file
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
you should then be able to also connect to hosts via their names...
