You need to find out from your network administrator the following: - ip of default router - if your server is part of a subnet. If yes, then what is the netmask. - what name service been used: local host file, DNS, NIS NIS+, LDAP and set up nsswitch.conf file accordingly.
Once you have all this information, an easy way to reconfigure the server is to issue # sys-unconfig boot the server and go thru the server identification process again Read man page of sys-unconfig for more details.

I have Solaris10 installed on my Dell Laptop. I have assigned an IP address to the system, and the output of 'ifconfig -a' is ok; I can see the UP, RUNNING,MULTICAST, e.t.c for the lp0 and the dnet0 entries. However, the Internet browser on the Solaris 10 does not work; I got the error: "'www.oracle.com' cannot be found" when I tried to access the 'oracle' web page. Could someone inform me how to make the Internet browsing possible. Please note that I installed the Solaris 10 on a virtual machine that is based on the Dell Laptop. An early response will be appreciated. Cheers. This was truly sent by me---Adeyemi --------------------------------- Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!
