You need to edit your resolv.conf file to something

nameserver 192.168.1.6
If you don't have a resolv.conf file then use
nedit to creat one. You
may not need three entries. The first two in mine are my ISP's
nameserver, the third one is the DNS server on my employers net that I
am VPN'ed into so I can administer it from home. This is from my Indy
running 6.5.x
You only need one, but you can put in up to three. The hostresorder line
isn't used, though -- it's a hangover from earlier versions and will be
ignored in Irix 6.2 and upwards. What you need is an entry in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, with the lines
hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files dns
Most software uses the functions that use the hosts line, some uses
ipnodes.
