Thanks to you all for replies - The utility bindsetup as recommended by
Trevor Parry and others allowed me to re-create the DNS information files
and resolve the problem.

Why not use bindsetup, it's easier and it sets up all the files for you ?
Sounds like maybe named isn't running (ps -ef | grep name)

Fellow managers,
I have recently added an Alpha system to our network that was formally
running on another network.
The server has been allocated a new IP address using IPCONFIG and the
machine now talks happily to other systems I've set up /etc/resolv.conf with
the same information as the other nodes in our network but the machine will
not resolve names - Have I missed anything here ?
alpha1.root> telnet tibet
tibet: Unknown host
alpha1.root> nslookup tibet
*** Can't initialize resolver.
Thanks in anticipation,
Mike Whorley
