How do I enable DNS on my 3000?

4.4.4. How do I enable DNS on my 3000?

Enabling DNS (requires MPE/iX 4.0 or above):

(1) Insure you have Ethernet and ARP enabled in NMMGR on the link. This flag is in the "NETXPORT.NI.niname" screen.

(2) Edit RSLVSAMP.NET and HOSTSAMP.NET to fit yourself and save them as RESLVCNF.NET and HOSTS.NET accordingly. You must define your nameserver's IP addresses in RESLVCNF and you can define more than one.

(3) In NMMGR, define "Default Neighbor Gateway" to point to the router. This is on the "NETXPORT.NI.niname.INTERNET.gatename" screen and you should have the IP address of your router (or gateway), and in the table of "reachable networks" you want an IP address of "@". This gateway address must be on your local IP network unless you have some other gateways or proxy services going.

(4) Be sure to fill in your "real" ARPA Domain address in NMMGR even if it is different from your "probe" name. The probe name is in the main screen after you open the config file. The ARPA domain name is in the initial NS configuration screen. THIS MUST MATCH YOUR DNS INFORMATION.

(5) Always establish Internet connections by the ARPA domain name. Unless you've made some extensive and unnecessary manual directory creation to make the names accessible, using the probe name will fail (unless, of course, the two are the same).

At this point I think you will need to reboot; I don't think all of these changes can be applied by a NETCONTROL UPDATE (but I could be wrong!).
