ured correctly.

pears.

no answer from 192.168.15.16

Note

❒ When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts

on the master server. When you use DNS, the information is written to a

data file on the name server. After writing the host name and IP address to

the file, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host

name.

# ping host_name

❒ If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the

printer using its host name instead of its IP address.

ment.
