   that would have been done when you set up the NIC with the tcp/ip protocol...   
   aside from that, you might be able to get it to work by editing   
      
     c:\mptn\etc\resolv  and  c:\mptn\etc\resolv2   
      
   IIRC, resolv is for the DOS side and may not exist... it doesn't on my eCS but   
   it did on my warp3... resolv2 is for the OS/2 side...   
      
   mine has only two lines in it... the first is for my internal domain   
   extension... this must not collide with any public ones... it is only your   
   internal top level domain... the second line is the one defining the   
   nameserver... i use only one because my perimeter firewall handles all that so   
   all my machine look only to my perimeter firewall's internal address for their   
   DNS lookups... i think there can be more than one nameserver line, each with a   
   different IP address... the top one is the main one used... the other(s) only   
   if/when the top one fails...   
      
      
   eg resolv2:   
   ===== snip =====   
   domain local   
   nameserver 192.168.0.1   
   ===== snip =====   
      
      
   with the above, i could use wrkstn1 or wrkstn1.local to access the internal   
   workstation flying the host name of wrkstn1... the ".local" part comes from   
   the domain line... the dns server is on 192.168.0.1... in my case, that's my   
   perimeter firewall... it might be your modem or router or whatever you are   
   using...
