i have checked .. may be problem in resolv.conf file .. how do i find out required nameserver to be added automatically to the resolv.conf .. in order to work properly.. In network script present in /etc/rc.d/rc/init.d there i am adding the nameserver into resolv.conf file... is there any way so that it can be updated with required nameserver .. other than manually....

You can add in a nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf. Maybe the route isn't setup when running static ips.

You can check your route by running 'route -n'.
