ping by IP address and by hostname

807557Mar 27 2006 — edited Mar 28 2006

I have installed solaris 10 on SPARC.

Now when I did ping
ping -s 192.168.2.105 .I get the response.

But when I do ping -s alpha. I got an error.It tried to reach 127.0.0.1.
My /etc/hosts contains entry for alpha to 192.168.2.105.

I removed every entry to loopback or 127.0.0.1.
Also when I tried to do

ifconfig hme0 alpha -netmask 255.255.255.0.It config my hme0 to 127.0.0.1

I unplumb my lo0 and also reboot my machine, but nothing is working.

regards,

mujeeb
