Non-recoverable failure in name resolution

Hello,

Octane, IRIX O/S 6.5.23 CPU's 2 225 MHz MIPS R10000(IP30)

LAN access OK
Ethernet only via IP # or if listed in /etc/hosts file
nslookkup OK

But attempting to [url]http://.[/url].. => error msg above

Single internet interface 'ef0' on machine
shouldn't it be Ethernet ec0 ?
if so how can I change the designation? It is unchangeable from the
Toolchest >'System' GUI

hinv -c network =>
Integral Fast Ethernet:ef0, version 1, pci 2
Is this the default for the Octane?
(seems sort of odd, could the network controller be playing tricks)


Thanks
