Certainly, Muoi. The files to edit are /etc/resolv.conf and
/etc/nsswitch.conf. Following is what my nsswitch.conf now looks like:
---BEGIN PASTE---
#
# /etc/nsswitch.files:
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it
# does not use any name services.
#
passwd: files
group: files
hosts: dns [SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue
TRYAGAIN=continue] files
services: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files
publickey: files
netgroup: files
automount: files
aliases: files
---END PASTE---
The only line I edited was the one that begins with "hosts".
Following is what my resolv.conf now looks like:
---BEGIN PASTE---
domain <domain_name>
nameserver <IP_address_of_DNS_nameserver>
---END PASTE---
Of course, replace <domain_name> with your company's domain name, and
replace <IP_address_of_DNS_nameserver> with the IP address of your company's
DNS nameserver.
No, I didn't need to start any daemons. I just edited the two files, and
DNS works.

Dave,
Could you please explain what you edited into those files and do you need to
stop/start anything before make it happen?
Regards,
Muoi Dang

Thanks to all who have responded. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and
/etc/nsswitch.conf, and names are resolving wonderfully.

I've never configured DNS, but I need to do so now in order to install and
use ISEE. We've been using hosts files up to now. I imagine there is an
easy way to configure a DNS client in SAM, but I've never done this. I've
searched docs.hp.com, ITRC, and the Web, and I haven't found a document
about doing this. Does anyone have instructions?
Dave
