I am not connected to any network but would like nslookup to work so
that I can do some network programing on my machine with functions
like gethostbyname and bind(socket, s_addr, size).  I am currently
running the Linux Slackware 2.0.20 kernel with the dummy network
interface installed (not as a module, doesn't work as a module for
some reason). I am not running named as advised.  Any help or pointers
are very very greatly appreciated.

On receiving a reply from a previous post, I have done some
modifications to my configuration but still with no success.  I know
it should be a simple problem, but due to inexperience on unix
networking, I'm stuck.  But I ain't gonna give up till I get it.  The
nslookup still does not work.  Here's what it says :

wollix:~#nslookup wollix.temp.org
Server:  wollix
Address:  0.0.0.0

*** wollix can't find wollix: No response from server

wollix:~#nslookup localhost
Server:  wollix
Address:  0.0.0.0

*** wollix can't find wollix: No response from server

My modified files are as follows:

# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.10.1	wollix.temp.org	wollix
#192.168.10.2	snoopy.temp.org	snoopy
