Can not setup a network connection  when I re-install  Solaris

Hi,
I got a problem during the Solaris 7 installation in an Intel Platform. At the 1st time of installation, after I finished the Host Name window, the installation program would popup a "Network Connectivity" window to ask me "Networked: Yes/No". I chose No. The installation continued. Finally, the installation finished successfully. Then I realize I may need the network support. So I formatted the Solaris partition and started the installation from beginning. However, at this time, the "Network Connectivity" window never popup. After I finished the Host Name window, the installation program immediately switches to the "Time Zone" window. I tried several times. No chance to set up the network again. I guess the installation program may save some flags in some place (floppy disk?, CD?, NT partition?). Those flags can not be removed by formatting the Solaris partition. I searched around but could not find out anything. Can you help?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin:
I can think of a few things that may have gone wrong.
i) Do you have a supported network card. See the following site.
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/
ii) When you start installing Solaris. There is an option to install from different Media (Harddrive, CDROM and network). During this time did Solaris give you an option to install of the network. This is a sign that Solaris is able to see the network card.
iii) You do not need to re-install if you need to add networking to Solaris. There are many ways to add the networking feature. The simplest is to use the sys-unconfig command. Please NOTE THIS WILL REMOVE ALL CONFIG INFO ON YOU SYSTEM.
Hope you get the network working, 'Cos "Network is the Computer" :-)

  • Can not enable Wireless network Connection

    Hello
    I am trying to set up my wireless connection but when I go in to my control panel/network connections and right click and enable wireless connection, it just goes back to enable. Do you know what I can do to enable it.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Paulm,
    can you please tell us which notebook and OS you own because some notebooks only are Wifi prepared with antenna and no Mini PCI Wifi card.
    Also you can check in the Device Manager if your Wifi card is detected in a right way! If yes there is also a option to enable or disable the card.
    Please don`t forget that FN+F8 key combination allows also enable/disable option.

  • ITunes 7.0 can not maintain a network connection, since upgrade

    I am stuck in dial up country and recently upgraded to iTunes 7. Until then I was having no problems downloading songs (even though it took a while). Now I am getting an error saying the network connection was reset and to check settings and try again. When this happens I am still online so that is not the problem. I have tried shutting down and restarting, clearing my DNS cache maually, keeping another window open that is connected to internet and closing everthing but iTunes. I also have run the network diagnostics in iTunes and received the following information when the iTunes store connection status failed -Network Connection Information
    Active Connection: MSN
    Connected: Yes

    I have purchased a season pass to a tv show and a entire album and neither will download. Please help me!! Thanks!

    Ive downloaded the Quicktime installation and so far got quite excited in the hope that this would at least help recover the new iTunes. But alas, iTunes now fails to install at all and an error message reads:
    "Quicktime was not installed properly, please re-install Quicktime and try again"
    I therefore re-installed the Quicktime application repeatedly with limited success with the same error messaging reappearing on each ocassion. It's starting to verge on the point of frustration now as every attempt I make at installing iTunes ends in failure.
    I don't want to give up as I have new tracks that I'm desperate to upload to my iPod which I've not been able to.

    Did you check the network setting?
    Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

    my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

    When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
    Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?

    Please verify that the programs (Ubuntu, Mint, Boot-Repair, etc.) you are attempting to use, support the Atheros AR8161L gigabit ethernet controller natively. Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box. Many times, specific drivers must be loaded or injected into the OS for a device to function properly.

    Hi,
    Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
    You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.

    Hi,
    How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
    According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
    a re-logon.
    example
    @echo off
    net use * /delete /yes
    net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

  • Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

    trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

    Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered  not accepted

    Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
    Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
    1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
    2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
    I have not been able to find any information on this subject

    jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.
