Hmm, check your network (smit) and named configuration. IBM network is very
sensitive in short (without) and long (with domain) machine names.
if you have named running on the same machine, you need an empty
/etc/resolv.conf to direct AIX to use a 'local' named (at least with 4.1.5,
don't assume they've changed it)
And you should enter important nodes into /etc/hosts. The name of the local
machine (short and long), gateways, other name server ...
