Hi, I'm new to OpenSolaris, but I have some knowledge of other UNIX-like systems, mainly debian derivate Linuces.
My problem is that I can not connect my laptop which has OpenSolaris booted from the live-cd, to my LAN. The LAN only has one other computer with Windows OS. Both of the computers are connected to hub. No connections are made outside of this network. I have been following these instruction to set up a static IP address for the laptop, but the connections don't seem to work. http://opensolaris.mynoteb00k.com/administration/configure-the-network-interface/ The IP address configuration is as follows Windows: IP: 192.168.1.10 mask: 255.255.255.0 OpenSolaris: IP: 192.168.1.30 mask: 255.255.255.0 For some reason I can not ping from one machine to another. After I pinged from Windows to OpenSolaris, the MAC address of the laptop(with OpenSolaris) can be seen on the arp table on windows machine, but the ping informs that 'request timed out'. The arp table on Windows is the following Interface: 192.168.1.10 on Interface 0x2000003 Internet Address Physical Address Type 192.168.1.30 00-ff-c5-ef-f0-fc dynamic ipconfig shows the following info Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.10 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : On the OpenSolaris computer the arp -a command shows the following data Net to Media Table: IPv4 Device IP Address Mask Flags Phys Addr ------ -------------------- --------------- -------- --------------- bge0 opensolaris 255.255.255.255 SPLA 00:ff:c5:ef:f0:fc and ifconfig bge0 command shows bge0: flags=201004851 mtu 1500 index 2 inet 192.168.1.30 --> 255.255.255.0 netmask ffffff00 ether 0:ff:c5:ef:f0:fc So, for some reason OpenSolaris sees only itself in the arp table. The drivers should be OK. The Device Driver Utility shows no errors for wired network device. The wireless is not working, but I don't need that. Also the command scanpci shows pci bus 0x0009 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x14e4 device 0x1600 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express for the network device. And command grep 14e4 /etc/driver_aliases shows bnx "pci14e4,164a" bnx "pci14e4,16aa" bnx "pci14e4,164c" bnx "pci14e4,16ac" bge "pci14e4,1600" bge "pci14e4,1601" bge "pci14e4,1644" bge "pci14e4,1645" bge "pci14e4,1647" bge "pci14e4,16a6" bge "pci14e4,16a7" bge "pci14e4,16c7" bge "pci14e4,1648" bge "pci14e4,16a8" bge "pci14e4,1649" bge "pci14e4,1653" bge "pci14e4,1654" bge "pci14e4,1659" bge "pci14e4,165d" bge "pci14e4,165e" bge "pci14e4,1668" bge "pci14e4,1669" bge "pci14e4,166e" bge "pci14e4,1696" bge "pci14e4,169c" bge "pci14e4,1677" bge "pciex14e4,1677" bge "pci14e4,1678" bge "pci14e4,1679" bge "pciex14e4,167a" bge "pciex14e4,167b" bge "pci14e4,167d" bge "pciex14e4,16fd" bge "pciex14e4,169d" If I connect two windows computers to the hub, everything works as it should. What could be the problem with OpenSolaris on my network? All help is highly appreciated. Thanks. This message posted from opensolaris.org
