To check to see if you have DNS configured correctly on your 3000, you might
want to download, untar, and run the following shell script:

http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/dnscheck.tar.Z

Untar the dnscheck script into any directory and then run it from a non-SM
user.  If the script detects any problems, make the recommended fixes and
re-run until no more problems are found.
