I have for some time tried to make a few Arc's use a nameserver on ethernet
rather that the TCP/IP suite's internal "hosts"-file.
Have anybody succeeded in this?

Acorn's documentation says that it can be done using NIS Yellow Pages...
However, the whole nameserver-issue is dealt with on three lines of text...

YP is indeed running on the domain in question, but the ethernet-card
& software seems to ignore this altogether.

We have Acorn ethernet cards iss 1 AND 3, running internetmodule version 1.05.
The cards work OK using the internal hoststable, but this is rather limited
- I cannot possibly put *ALL* hostnames and ip-no. on internet in a 
local file on our own domain...
