Dear osf-managers,
the solution to my ping and telnet problem was just to change the line
hosts=local,yp
to
hosts=local,bind,yp
in the file /etc/scv.conf
Thanks to everyone who send a message.
Bye, Dirk

Here the prblem once again:
I've got a problem concerning the networking of our new DEC 433au Workstation running DU4.0C.
I can reach hosts in our local network via telnet and ping. This doesn't work for hosts out
of our local network. Alltough nslookup figures out the name resolution for example:
nslookup gwdu20
Server: umpa06.gwdg.de
Address: 134.76.200.106
Name: gwdu20.gwdg.de
Address: 134.76.98.2
a ping or telnet to this hosts leads to the error-message
ping: unknown host gwdu20
A telnet or ping to the direct address (134.76.98.2) works out.
