I am trying to get sendmail working on my 927XL running MPE/ix 6.0.  Our LAN
is linked to a LinkSys DSL/Router.  It has an IP address.  Our WAN(DSL
Modem) has an IP address and a gateway IP address (to Verizon) .  Our
clients are auto assigned IP's starting at 192.168.1.100 and up.  I opened
ports 25 & 53 for IP 192.168.1.10 (the HP).

My hosts.net.sys file has the following to active lines:

192.168.1.10 HP3000.CFSINC.COM
127.0.0.1  localhost

With all the lines in RESLVCNF.NET.SYS non active Syslog works.  dnscheck
doesn't.  I am missing "A" records.

When I add/activate the following RESLVCNF lines Syslog doesn't work and
dnscheck still can't find and "A" records.

domain cfsinc.com
nameserver 192.168.1.10
domain localhost
nameserver 127.0.0.1

I think it is something to do with a configuration in NMMGR.  For the life
of me I can't find anything concrete in the archives.  I am waiting to get
access to invent3k so I can look at its config.

I just can't wait.  Well unless I have to.  Any clues?  See dnscheck output
below.

No DNS "A" records were found for hp3000.cfsinc.com
loopback.  This is a
serious problem; double-check /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF and ask your DNS
administrator
whether or not your e3000 exists within the DNS database, and then rerun
this
script after correcting any problems.  Here are the results of the failed
