Hi Admins,

i am facing a strange problem in one of our SunFire v215 Servers.

the ping to the hostname of the Server and ping to the hostname of any
other server in /etc/hosts fail.

but if you ping with IP_Adress it get success. i.e.

hostname=mytest ; IP=10.54.23.1 , hostname2=mydev ; IP2=10.54.23.2

ping mytest
[ failed ]

ping 10.54.23.1
[success]

ping mydev
[ failed ]

ping 10.54.23.2
[ success]

I dont know why its unable to resolve hostname from /etc/hosts.

i didnt find any error in /var/adm/messages

its very urgent, hope to hear soon from you.

Your Junior
