If this is all it is then you should be able to just do: echo ' dns=1.2.3.4' >> /net/ndb where 1.2.3.4 is your DNS server's address. I am pretty sure this will work, though I haven't tried it since the days I used ppp and dialup... you will also need to get dns to reread its config: echo refresh > /net/dns ---------- You could also check that ip/cs is able to find a dns server for your machine: ndb/ipquery sys $sysname dns and try repeating this using ndb/ipquery ip 1.2.3.4 dns where 1.2.3.4 is your IP address -Steve
