First setup lan, is your NIC supported, what is your NIC??? Try ifconfig -a plumb;ifconfig -a dhcp Look here for free NIC drivers: http://www.tools.de/opensource/solaris/itu/ Or there, if you need to port your device from linux or bsd: http://www.unixguide.net/sun/x86faq/6.38.shtml "Sun has released (9/2000) a free network driver porting kit ..." Use google, there is some other open porting project, but I don't find it now. _After_ your NIC is detected, run as root: route add default [yourrotersIPv4] echo [yourrotersIPv4] > /etc/defaultrouter echo [yourDNS_IPv4] > /etc/resolv.conf cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf Should work now. See at least the following man pages: ndd, ifconfig, route, netstat For Menu-driven reconfiguration of whole host's identity do: /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig Much success. -MB _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
