I can see the DNS servers on my LINKSYS, and all my Windoze boxes have
no problems resolving names to IP's using my ISP's nameservers which I
have
hardcoded into the "use alternate configuration" of their TCP/IP
Properties.

It is only in Solaris that I am having troubles.

I don't care at this point, and was just pointing out that it wasn't
running.
