[ts-7000] TS-7250 doesn't resolve host name

["xie_jian_hua" <>]

I ran the ping command on my TS-7250 board and got the message:

$ping www.bankofamerica.com
ping: www.bankofamerica.com: Unknown host

If I ping an IP address instead of host name, it will work. My TS-7250
board is configured to use dhcp and should work fine since the output
from ifconfig command is:
$ ifconfig

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)                     
          
          Interrupt:39                                               
          
                                                                     
          
I did search the previous messages. One said a similar problem was
caused by wrong static IP address used by the SBC. But I don't think
it applies to my situation because I have a Linux desktop on the same
subnet. It runs dhcp and resolves all host names. Running ifconfig
command on the desktop PC gives me the output:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:14:6C:C3:73:DE  
          inet addr:10.10.1.115  Bcast:10.10.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::214:6cff:fec3:73de/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3666226 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:903355 errors:360 dropped:0 overruns:4 carrier:720
          collisions:5470 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:1603262774 (1.4 GiB)  TX bytes:123856516 (118.1 MiB)
          Interrupt:16 Base address:0xef00 

If I put a host name and IP address pair in the /etc/hosts file, it
will work for that specific host name. My linux version is 2.4.26-ts9
Anybody can give me a pointer? Thank you.
