\[Solution\] Solaris issue with wget not resolving Domain name (DNS name lookup failure)

Today I was working with <a class="zem_slink" title="Solaris (operating system)" rel="homepage" href="http://oracle.com/solaris">Solaris and after I had set up the <a class="zem_slink" title="NIS+" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIS%2B">NIS+, <a class="zem_slink" title="Name server" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_server">DNS server, IP Address and completing the basic setting. I was using the pkg-get util from the freesunware.com

The utility was using wget and it was failing constantly.
