Hi Digital-ers,

I have a simple question: After I setup the network of my workstation,
I can not use any host name which is not list in /etc/hosts, but I have
no problem to use the IP address. I have tried to use nslookup. It works
fine for any host name. For example:
        %telnet prep.ai.mit.edu # unknown host
        %nslookup prep.ai.mit.edu # print 18.159.0.42
What do I missing?

I am running OSF3.2 on DEC3000/700

Thanks
