I have strange issues in name resolving when I am using my wireless 
connection. I use WPA TKIP security on my wireless router at home. When 
I boot OpenSolaris 2008.05 (snv_91) and log into gnome, nwam connects me 
to my network. I verified this by doing 'pfexec dladm show-wifi' and 
ensured that my interface wpi0 got a IP address. Also I see DNS server 
entries in /etc/resolv.conf. I am able to ping the DNS servers. 
'dig/nslookup network.com' returns proper results. However none of the 
other applications are able to resolve the name. 'ping network.com' 
immediately returns with "Unkown host". I assume that this is something 
to do with the nscd. Restarting just nscd doesn't help. 'dig/nslookup' 
applications use resolv.conf; hence are working fine. In-order to fix 
this, I have to restart nwam. Does anyone know what is happening? I can 
post more diagnostic information if needed.

PS: There is another problem that I am facing with nwam (restart) when 
using WPA. I will post about do a separate post about it.

Thanks -
Praveen
