Basic networking - getting a Sun Ultra 10 on my home network

Hello,
I have a Sun Ultra 10 at home running Solaris 8.
I am trying to teach myself a bit about networking so I thought I would try to get the box online. I am having little success. Hopefully someone will tell me where I'm going wrong. Here's what I've done:
- Created /etc/hostname.hme0 with entry "mymachine" (without the quotes)
- Edited /etc/hosts so that its contents are:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.110 mymachine loghost
My documentation states that the fully qualified domain name should appear on the second of the above 2 lines, but I don't have a "mycompany.com" type domain thing, so I'm not sure what I should put, if anything?
- verified that /etc/nodename contains the single line:
mymachine
- created /etc/defaultrouter with sinlge line entry:
192.168.0.1
This is the IP of my broadband router.
When I rebooted the machine, an ifconfig -a reported an IP of 127.0.0.1 against hme0. That seemed odd (given that I put the IP in the hosts file) so I ran:
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.110 up
and ifconfig -a then reported that the IP of hme0 was 192.168.0.1.
However, I cannot ping 192.168.0.1. I get "ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.110 for icmp 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.0.1".
I think it is quite likely that my problem is hardware. I have a network cable running from the network port on my Ultra 10 to port 3 on my 4 port hub (I've tried 1,2, and 3). Port 4 is the Normal/Uplink. I have a cable running from a port on my broadband router to port 4 on the hub. The port is set to "Normal" rather than Uplink. The Rx light flashes on port 4 - but not on port 3.
I'd be extremely grateful for any pointers on this!
Regards,
Paul

I changed the IP on my Solaris box to 192.168.0.110 and all was well. Well, I can get onto the internet now, and can see my Windows boxes from my Solaris box, but oddly I can't see (using ping) my Solaris box from my Windows box.

How do I get my iPad to remember my home network? I already switched on the "automatically join known networks"

turn off all of the ipads, (not put them to sleep but turn them off) then unplug your Wi-Fi router for 2 mins. Plug it back in and when all the lights are (green or blue, depends on who makes the router) turn on one ipad and then connect it, wait 3 mins and turn on the other and connect it, do this for each iPad and it should fix the problem.

Configure 2 network Card in Sun ULTRA 1

Hi,
Can I put 2 network card in a Sun Ultra 1
One Card it's for connected in my Network Sun in 192.9.XXX.XXX
and the second it's for my Network PC in 192.168.XXX.XXX
I want see this machine in the 2 network
Best regards.

This is caused by the default security policy which blocks file sharing with unidentified networks by making them public. (How it determines unidentified networks is another interesting question). To allow file sharing, you have to change the local
security policy to allow unidentified networks to be private.

Help Getting iTunes to Stream Through My Home Network

Hello- I have a PC running XP and recently purchased a new Pioneer Elite Audio/Video home stereo reciever. It has built in Windows Media networking so that I can evidently stream music and pictures from my home network through the RJ 45 port in the back of the machine. My television a SONY Bravia has the same feature and requires this same Windows Media File Sharing stuff? I have no idea what I am doing but someone told me I had to install Windows Media Player 11 in order to do this as iTunes was "not compatable" with WIndows Media File Sharing??? I guess this makes sense but now that I have Windows Media Player 11 it cannot find any of my iTunes music in the iTunes folder- not even when I point Windows Media Player 11 directly to the folder. Does anyone know how to help me step by step in a simple explanation? My thanks in advance. By the way my connectivity IS working as I am able to see my server- jsut not the content. Thank you.

Hiya..
When you change over modem, you almost always need to do a complete reset of the TC..
Factory reset it by holding in reset and then powering on the TC.. keep holding reset in for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly. Release and do the setup via ethernet to a computer.
Set the TC in bridge mode. That is basically all you need.
Setup wireless however you prefer .. you can use same or different SSID (wireless name) to the u-verse modem router. Or turn one or the other off.
I guess this is pretty common question here.. if you do a search for u-verse in the TC discussion area you will see lots of posts.
If you still have issues or cannot find them.. just ask again.

I'm continuously getting a "connection timeout" on my home network. My iPhone connects without a problem, and I know the password is correct. How do I fix this?

I've never had a problem connecting to my home network until recently. The desktop computer is connected, and my iphone connects as well. It is not a problem with the wireless router, but rather I believe with my computer or airport. How can I fix this?

I keep getting booted out of my at-home network.

Since last night, our network keeps disappearing form the list, we have to enter it manually every time the computer goes to sleep mode. We've changed the admin password and the network password, but we cannot lock changes in place...especially for the AirPort and Network. Does this mean I need to create a new network and delete the old one?

You can try closing all of your open/running as well.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Close all of the open apps the same way. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.
You can also try a reset by holding down on the sleep and home buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If none of this helps - you may have a corrupt app that you need to deal with.

How to have same version of Network Magic on all pc`s on home network

I had to uninstall Network Magice from my laptop, and on re-installation I ended up with version 4.1 I am running version 5.0 on my desktop. Before uninstalling I had the same version on both. My question is, how can I get back to version 5.0 on my laptop, all I get from NM is a prompt to buy an update or a new version, I have entered my license key onto my laptop but I cannot upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.........

You "must" uninstall the older version and do a clean install of your new version, using the new key.

Sun Ultra 5 / Newbie Question

Hello. I am a student preparing for a career in Deskside Support. I recently purchased a Sun Ultra 5, so I could increase my experience with UNIX / LINUX. When the system powers up it goes through what seems to be a normal boot process and then keeps repeating the below error:
SUN, hme0 : No response from Ethernet network : Link down -- cable problem?
I am assuming that it is looking for some sort of a network connection. It is not on nor will it be on a network. I also have a copy of Ubuntu on the way, as I have heard this is a good source of LINUX experience. Does the forum have any thoughts or comments on what the error is saying and how to get rid of it?

Here is some additional informaiton that I was able to capture from the boot process.
(Here is what I get when I boot.)

It keeps repeating. I think it has something to do with it looking for booth instructions off the network it was on. I also feel one of the boot proms need reseting. It never gets to root / UNIX prompt. I can STOP -A and get to OpenBoot prompt and SETENV / PRINTENV and run baisc diag but no more.
When I reboot from OpenBoot with the "boot cdrom" command here is what I get.

Can't get Airport Express back onto my wireless network???

Just returned from a trip where I had successfully used my AE in temp accommodation. Now I can't get the thing to rejoin my home network. I've reset it time after time, I go through Airport Setup Asst and get to the bit where it says it's updating the AE, congratulates me on setting it up - but the thing never rejoins and all I get is the amber blinking light. Once this happens it disappears off the network until I again, reset to factory settings.
I have tried entering WEP equiv passwords as well as the ASCII but am not sure which one to use now - totally confused. I have another AE on the network which is working fine. I must be missing something unless the thing has gone u.s?
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Cheers

Hi Dan
I have posted a new topic on this because I feel strongly about it.
Here's a copy and paste of what I said:
"I have spent literally the equivalent of 3 full days, configuring, reconfiguring, re-installing, setting up, un-setting up, scouring the internet, phoning people, taking trips to the Apple Store to find a solution. All a total waste of time. Why? Because until there is an update to cure the problem, the Airport Extreme BS will not function properly when used in an environment other than a basic setup.
My network at home consists of 3 XP PC's, two Airport Expresses, and 5 Macs of various models. Until I removed an Express to use it on a trip, all of it worked well. When I came to return said Express into 'the fold' - that's when the trouble started. Mainly that, unless I had security switched to NONE, I couldn't connect the Expresses to the Base station, and my HP PSC2510 wireless printer would not connect either.
If you are anything like me, you will have been through every single combination of setups, restarts, reinstalls you name it. I got conflicting info about the level of security from the Admin utility - sometimes it would report WPA, others it would say WEP.
Cut a long story short, I finally returned the BASE Staion to the Apple Store and got a replacement. I had narrowed it down to that component only. Everything else on the network "seemed" to be fine.
I wondered whether it was a solitary, faulty AEBS, and by replacing that, it would eliminate the problem. In theory.
Brought home new AEBS but this unit also suffered collossally unreliable/unsuccessful connections from Printer, Expresses and one XP laptop.
I have been to the Moon and back with Hewlett Packard trying to work out what could have happened - overnight - to this normally fail-safe wireless printer. No clues, all seemed to be set up correctly. But it WOULD NOT JOIN THE NETWORK!!!.
So, as any mad (as in angry) scientist would do, I set up a "Control" experiment. Keeping everything as it was, all I changed was the AEBS. I swopped the AEBS for my older white AEBS (flying saucer). Guess what?
Within seconds, all connected. Including printer, Expresses, and XP PCs.
All working perfectly. Wrote down all the settings to check exactly the same as on the new (n) AEBS - identical. Swopped back - same problems. No way would it work.
I am no Network expert but have a feeling that it has a problem managing/distributing/assigning IP addresses. Dunno, just a hunch because the printer would connect fine when connected to AEBS by ethernet cable.
So I am now going to return the new AEBS to Apple and get a refund. I don't have time for this and I suggest not many people do.
So if you have a problem like I did, it might be an idea to try another router or eliminate it somehow and check your settings.
I hope this helps.
EDIT:
Looking again through a lot of posts on here - I would estimate that they are pretty much linked to the same problem - a few are reporting problems after connecting to different ISP then not being able to get it working again, some saying they can't get a single solitary PB to connect but al the others do. It all rings bells here! I am sure it's an IP problem (but what do I know) I would love someone to see into this. I doubt whether Apple will come up with something before Christmas - let's hope they prove me wrong eh?
Anyone know of a good, reliable wireless router that also allows external HD sharing?
Cheers!
Chris"

I can not get my ipad to sync to my network? Password is right but it still says unable to join...what am i doing wrong! aggravated...

I cannot get my ipad to join my home network...why? I have the right password but it continues to say unable to join network? Why???   Aggravated!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

TS1398 Can't join wireless network. Get message saying "unable to join the network". My wife's phone is connected so problem must be my phone - any ideas?

When trying to access my wireless network, get a message "unable to join the network". I tried turning everything off and back on, reset phone, etc. (all of the suggestions under troubleshooting guide). It was working until last night - it suddenly wasn't on anymore and then I couldn't get back on. Any suggestions?

1- try updating your phone (If you can)
2- try reebooting
3- (I know this sounds crazy but) put it in the freezer for a few hours.

Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
If I move back downstairs it reconnects
This has only started happening in the past week or so
I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded. Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

Macbook air not detecting home wifi but detecting all other networks in vicinity. Other devices are able to connect to home network.

I have had this problem since yesterday. My macbook air is not detecting the home wifi network it used to be connected to. A manual addition of the network is also not working. I also tried using network utility which gives the details of all networks available and their details, but the home network does not feature there.
However, my iPhone is able to connect to the home wifi without a glitch. I am right now using a mobile data card to access internet, but need to get back to the home network.
I found various users posting the same problem online, but am yet to find a conclusive problem. Here are two threads on apple support which are similar to my case.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2445976?threadID=2445976
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10695921?messageID=10695921&start=1#106959 21?messageID=10695921&start=1
Please help!

It was not working for me either and I spent a day looking at things other people did when they had similar problems. Never could find a conclusive response and what has been suggested here was always almost the only thing mentioned. I wish you luck and hopefully someone can actually point out the one true thing that is doing this!
This is the exact sequence of events: I switched off the main supply to the house when I was going out, and when I came back this problem occurred. I was searching desperately online and just when I had given up, I decided to switch mains off and then back on. It picked up the wifi, and has been working since. This was a shocker and mostly a coincidence. Wont hurt to try.
