Subject: Problem,dip, for SLIP, config requested.

        I have some problem with my dip. I downloaded NET-2 from tsx-11.mimt.edu
        2-3 days ago. I configured and recompiled the kernel for SLIP.
        While bootup, the system says : SLIP version 0.7.5 Ok

        when I try to start dip in test mode, this is what I get.
        $ dip -t
        (none): Host name lookup failure

        I am attaching my /etc/rc.net file ( I have SLS version of linux)

        $ cat /etc/rc.net
        #!/bin/sh
        # rc.inet1: configure the network interface

        HOSTNAME=`hostname`

        # Attach the loopback device.
        /etc/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
        /etc/route add 127.0.0.1

        # IF YOU HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION, use these lines below to configure the
        # eth0 interface. If you're only using loopback or SLIP, don't include the
        # rest of the lines in this file.

        So, can anybody tell me what is wrong or missing in my configuration.
        Or, what additional info I should post.

        I have a 2400 baud modem on cua0 which works fine with kermit.

        The address of my SLIP server is 131.183.1.203

        I do not know if it is static or dynamic.

        YES. I have gone through NET-2-HOWTO

        Thanx
