cat /etc/resolv.conf (isp specific.) bash-3.00# cat /etc/resolv.conf domain myhome.westell.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.1.1 bash-3.00# I saw on one of the newsgroups entries a effort if getting dhcp agent and server replaced with ISC version, do to SUN version is not well maintained or documented.
