I just checked, and the JPL name server (jpl-mil.jpl.nasa.gov) has the correct address for dabo. It's 141.211.168.73 in case you can't look it up for some reason. I've added the following to the Q&A file, since it took me a while to figure this out from the unusually poor documentation (none of the man pages point to nmconfig!): Question: How do I enable IP name service? Answer: Uncomment the 'nmconfig' lines in /etc/rc.local. Create the empty file /etc/daemons/nmconfig. Create the file /etc/resolv.conf. It should look like this: domain domain-name nameserver server1 nameserver server2 nameserver server3 where domain-name is your domain name, and server1..n are the numeric IP addresses of your name servers. You can have as many as you want, it tries them in the order listed. Here's a sample file for dabo.ifs.umich.edu (IP addresses are fictional): domain ifs.umich.edu nameserver 10.3.27.4 nameserver 10.1.27.4 nameserver 10.1.33.2
