Hello, I'm brand new to Solars OS and would appreciate if anyone can help me out with the following. I got the Sun Blade 100 (SPARC|||) with Solaris 9 installed on it. I have a wireless router(DHCP enabled) and connecting one of the ethernet ports to the Sun box. when I type ifconifg, I get the following Ip (192.168.1.5). I have another machine(xp) in the network. When I try to telnet 192.168.1.5 , It works fine But I want to give a host name to the ipaddress so that when I type in telnet://hostname, I should be able to get into it. I used the admin tool and added the host name, but it doesnt connect to the host but connects when ip address is given. Any help is really appreciated.
you need to configure your XP box to resolve that name for you. A list concerned with Windows is probably a better place to find out about this.
