Hi,

I've been working on getting my single NeXT hooked up into my school's
network.  So far, I have been successful in getting telnet, rlogin, and
ftp working from between the NeXT and local computers (Suns and Microvaxes).
I can also send mail from the NeXT to the local computers.  However, I
can not access any computers outside of school (I get a Network unreachable
message) and I can not send mail to the NeXT (I get an Unknown host error
message when I send to it.)  I have been told (with regards to the mail 
problem) that it might have to do with the I named the machine.  It had
been named just machine.smith.edu, but I was told it was supposed to be
machine.csc.smith.edu.  I changed this /etc/hosts file to the correct name,
but things still aren't working.  I also checked the sendmail.cf file, but
things seem to be correct there.  If any one has any suggestions on how to
get both email working to the NeXT and how to get the NeXT to be able to
access outside computers I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks!
