named

[John Burns]

I am connecting a new Sparc2 to the network.  I can address
various machines by IP, but not by name.  I thought that
named was supposed to translate the names for me, but it
doesn't.  Dumping the name cache gives me all the addresses
in the harvard.edu domain, so the daemon seems to work.  So
what is it I'm supposed to do to get it to interpret Internet
names?
The error message is "unknown host".
I've obviously missed something basic, but my manuals really
suck.
