Please put a subject in your future notes.
A bad setup for DNS will cause NetView fits and slow its performance to a crawl.
If nslookup doesn't work, and you have said you are using name resolution (by
providing /etc/resolv.conf), then NetView will never get things right. It does
many "gethostbyaddr" and "gethostbyname" calls in every operation.
Yes, you may use /etc/hosts rather than DNS -- NetView doesn't know or care how
names get resolved, just so long as they do.
If you cannot get your DNS woes fixed, then you should look at creating a
netsvc.conf file (see the man page for it) which specifies
hosts = local,bind
That will force name resolution to use /etc/hosts first and DNS second.
hosts = local
will cause only /etc/hosts to be read
But the absolutely best thing to do is get DNS, or your access to it, fixed.
Once done, you can increase NetView performance, often dramatically, by making
your NetView machine a cache-only name server.

hello again....
thanks, the events are displaying now!!!!!
but i have a question, i put the command nslookup and the machine
doesn't meet the domain server , actually we are cheking this error for
installation the patch 5.1.1 that is necesary for sending the
events(AIX) to tec (NT), i don4t know if es necesary to resolve the
names using the domain server or we can resolve the names only using
the file called hosts.We are thinking to install the adapter , it can
be other solution, but where can i find the steps for install the
adapter for tec?, i think that it solution is better because i have to
install the tivoli manager for network conectivity and to have the
adapter for tec is one of the requirements.
best regards
