yes, i can ping my server by my hostname and ip address. In my first thread, i specify that i am using /etc/hosts as evidenced by the result of nslookup.

in hpux 11.0, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf determines how the name is being resolved. and my output of nslookup did specify that i am using /etc/hosts.

Please advise
Can you reverse nslookup?
