I have a DecStation 3100 that is having major network problems
if I do a netstat -r  there are hundreds of entries instead of the
usual 3 or 4


I can reach things if I ping or telnet to a specific address, but
if I give it a host name, the request never goes through.


What is going on?  The ifconfig and everything is right, and my
network connection is fine, I can talk with the IP numbers, but not
with names, and all the hosts are in my host table?


Is it because of all the entries in my routing table?  Is it searching
each one of these machines trying to resolve the name or what?


Any info would be deeply appreciated.  This machine services several
printers, and as of now they are no longer printing, and I can't figure
this out.
