I have a LAN connection over ethernet and I have set the option to configure using DHCP. When I get to the screen asking for IP, gateway, nameserver, etc. the correct values are filled in, but when I try to continue I get a message that it cannot resolve the hostname. If I go over to vty4, I can bring up the lan interface, set a default route and then ping the same host by name. I'm a bit confused here. Can anyone offer suggestions? Thanks in advance. -Bob
