- You probably need to have the route daemon running to get to the outside
- world. Check to see if the following line is in your /etc/hostconfig
- file.
-
- ROUTER=-ROUTED-
- (or ROUTER=address_of_router where address_of_router is a number)
-
- If not, modify your /etc/hostconfig file and then reboot.

- If you are getting an "Unknown host error" on a machine trying to send to
- your NeXT, then that machine probably does not have a corresponding
- name/address for your NeXT in its /etc/hosts file or in the name servers
- tables. The machine sending mail needs to have the same name and address
- in its tables for your NeXT that your NeXT believes is its address.
