Hi!

I have installed Tru64 with patch kit 4 on a Alpha DS10L and so far so good, but i can't get DNS to work properly. I can ping adresses with the IP number but not use DNS. I have tried to set DNS in nsswitch.conf and svc.conf but with no luck, and i have nameserver x.x.x.x in resolv.conf

i took a easy way with the network setup, did IFCONFIG_0="DYNAMIC" in rc.config and that seemed to work with dhcp. But i have tried to setup with sysman but i have no clue how to fix the dns problem i have.

By the way is it possible to get the latest/last patch kit 6? well it does not improve that much either way from patch kit 4 i'm using now.
