Most of the suggestions had to do with the /etc/resolv.conf file. I changed

it to the new IP address,then the reverse name lookups started looking, but

I still had problems with he forward lookup file, so I looked at the

forward file and found a couple of misplaced ORIGIN lines.

I edited those out, and everything is working now.

There was one suggestion to take a look at the nsswtich.conf file as well

as resolv.conf. I have not yet looked at this file, but I'm not sure if we

need this particular file.

There was also one suggestion to perform this procedure:

change the db.200.x.8 file entry as well as the db.domain name file entry...

increment the records and bounce named!

Thanks again for help and the fast responses.

Here is the original question:

Hi Sun Experts:

I recently had to change our IP address on our Sun server, ( Solaris 2.5.1)

and now the nslookup and DNS isn't working correctly. If I perform a

nslookup the server returns this:

>nslookup 200.x.8.2

>*** Can't find server name for address 200.x.2.2: No response from server

>*** Default servers are not available

I changed the IP address of the server from 200.x.2.2 -- to 200.x.8.2, but

now DNS does not work. Can anyone tell me where the config files are for

DNS?

I changed the /etc/named.boot file, and the /etc/dns/primary--forward and

reverse lookup files to indicate the new IP address, and I did a kill -HUP

on the in.named process, but I can't seem to find the config file where

the old address--200.x.2.2 is coming from?

Thanks in advance
