How can I reconfigure the Host Name of my server?

[Xolotl]

Months ago, when I upgraded to NetWare 6, I skipped the 'Setting Up Domain Name Service' section. But now, I would like to give a host name, domain, primary and secondary IP to my server. How can I do this?

Thanks.

SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG holds the Domain name and DNS server info. If you're using INETCFG.NLM for your NIC management, you can enter all of the stuff in there under PROTOCOLS => TCP/IP => DNS RESOLVER CONFIGURATION. Otherwise you'll need to create the file manually.. should be formatted like this:

domain YOURDOMAIN.COM
nameserver 1.2.3.4 # dns-server-1
nameserver 2.3.4.5 # dns-server-2
nameserver 1.2.4.5 # dns-server-3

SYS:ETC\HOSTS is where your hostname and IP address will go. You format it similarly, but will have to do it manually. should look something like this:

xx.xx.xx.xx servername.domain.com SERVERNAME
