I have a netbsd system which is connected to the network through a serial link 
and PPPd. The server is again a Netbsd machine. I'm able to connect to the 
network 
and browse the internet. 
 
	My problem is, 
		name resolution is not taking place in my client. 
 
I have nameserver information in the /etc/resolv.conf file. My domainname is 
set. 
 
But ypbind in the client doesn't run. It hangs(sending broadcast packets to 
find a ypserver) 
 
	But through netscape I'm able to browse, and all I specify is name and 
not ip's. 
 
With ping or telnet though I have to specify the ip's and name resolution 
doesn't happen. 
 
Any help on this is most welcome! 
 
Thanks in ADVANCE, 
Bala.
