When you exit SunPlex Manager or click
Back
in your web browser window after you begin the installation,
the data service disconnects you from the installation.

Recommended step. To test the DNS server,
type nslookup [name] [logical_hostname] in which
[name] represents the name of a host to look up,
and
logical_hostname
represents the logical host name that you specified in the
Network Resource
field in
this step.
If you chose the demo configuration, you can also test the hardwired host name a.b.c, which returns IP address 1.2.3.4. This test verifies that the new DNS server is responding. |
