Configure / Enable network card, and DHCP on VMware Workstation 6

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie in Solaris. If you can walk me through steps by steps, I would really appreciate it.
Problem/Question: One main issue, No network connection.
Background:
VM machine 01:
I installed Solaris 10/06 first, it starts and works ok. However, when I tried to use the Update manager to update, it doesn't allow me to. It said something like "Failed" connection". However, it has normal internet connection, and it is just a litte slow, but internet connection works ok.
VM machine 02:
I installed the most recent distro: Solaris 10 8/07. The installation process went fine. I selected "Network" and connect to "DHCP" at the installation process just like "VM Machine 01". And the installation went through fine too.
The problem comes after the installation and it starts to reboot, and trying to get a IP address.
The boot screen said something like IP 192.168.XXX.XXX has the same Mac Address XX XX XX XX XX XX on pcn01
This error message pops up 4x or so, it then took me back to end section of the installation screen where it asked me if the computer is connected to "Network" and "no Network", and installed the new protocol "IPv6"...
Since I got the error message, I selected "No Network", and it didn't take me to "DHCP" page. Then, the system started fine, but no network connection.
What interesting and wired is that, "Connect Properites" of the PCN01, it shows that it has an IP address, and try to transfer data. Unfortunately, nothing comes up.
On a post from VMware, it mentioned that SUSE Linux sometimes has this problem with the network identifier and mac address is being the same. And it suggested to do some manual changes.

I am not sure if it would be the same for Solaris, and if it may be, would you please tell me where and how to change the mac address in Solaris?
Thanks in advance,
Best,
Xin

do you have dhcpcd installed? nm 0.7 uses dhcpcd instead of dhclient by default, so it seems there is something wrong with that.
oh and !dhcp can be removed from INTERFACES aswell, what does that even do?
as i said above, the things i mentioned before weren't fixes for your problem, so it's no wonder they didn't solve your problem
they were just cleanups for your networking stuff and to make nm really do the part it is supposed to.

Dbconsole configuration - two network cards

Hi,
I have two network cards in the Solaris server and
Oracle 11g2 EE database server.
One network card is used for connection to the application (data network). Connection though standard port 1521.Database configured using server name defined for Net1 card and I can connect to the Oracle database using net1 card from apps server.
Second card is the management card (connected to the management network).
Is it possible to use it for connection to the dbconsole installed in the database ORACLE_HOME?
If yes, how I should configure dbconsole that I can see dbconsole web window through net2 card.
Thanks,
Oleg

Messy setup IMO, but anyway....
Your faulty resolv.conf is the reason you can't ping google. Edit it manually as required, and then use the -R flag in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to prevent it being overwritten. DHCP on both interfaces will probably cause routing issues as well, in which case you will need the -G flag.

Configure multiple network card with netcfg

Hello Archers! I am a happy new user of Arch Linux . I wanna say that your community is really great, thanks to all the people giving help out there.
My question is:
I must configure two eth interfaces, I have the both configured but sometimes I need to change configuration for connecting to other network that needs only one network card with other IP. I would like to select the configuration trough the "NET_PROFILES=menu" line in /etc/rc.conf or with the "netcfg" command but I don't know how to configure TWO interfaces in ONE profile of the /etc/network-profiles/* files?
Both networks have Static IP.
I search on the forums and do not find anything useful. I'm sorry if is there something in other post that I doesn't read.

TuxLyn,
this netcfg profile works OK for me for a long time now:

Of course, yours is more circunvoluted, but perhaps it helps.
ip addr outputs:

Load Balance Network Cards and Fail over services

Hi,
Im looking at setting up 2 MAC server each with basic services (ie AFP, Open Driectory, software updates and DHCP)
Both servers are less then 12 months old and are both attached with GB ports to the RAID where all the user data is stored.
My questions is how to I setup the 2 network interface cards to act as one and load balance the traffic accross both interfaces?
also I was wondering if it was possible to fail over AFP services, so if one server went down the other would pickup file services where it left off?
I know how to fail over OD and the other services dont matter to much.
Thanks in advance for your assistance

My questions is how to I setup the 2 network interface cards to act as one and load balance the traffic accross both interfaces?
This is simple link aggregation in System Preferences -> Network
Click the + button at the bottom and choose new Link Aggregate. Choose the existing interfaces (presumably en0 and en1) and you're set.
Note that this requires support in the switch the server is connected to (it needs to support LACP), and that you will bounce your network connection when you set this up (so don't do it when the server is actively servicing clients)
also I was wondering if it was possible to fail over AFP services, so if one server went down the other would pickup file services where it left off?
It's possible, but you need to be very careful with regards to data integrity. For example, typically each server is going to have a local directory (or directories) that are shared. If Server A fails and Server B takes over, how do you intend to ensure that Server B's data is up-to-date, especially with regard to files that might have been in use at the time?
It's a tricky problem to solve without putting the data on a shared storage device using something like XSAN to manage arbitration, and now you could be talking serious $$$s.
I'd recommend looking closely at your file serving needs and work out if it's necessary, or whether you could get by with dividing the load across servers (e.g. some sharepoints are on one server, other sharepoints on the other) so that only a subset of your users are impacted should one server fail.
File synchronization/replication is a major issue (read $$$$$) for a lot of companies.

Replacement wired network card and driver for G4/OSX 10.3.9???

Does anyone know of a wired network card that will work in a Mac (with or without a driver) when the one on the mother board is not longer functioning? It seems that my built-in Ethernet card was fried in a recent electrical storm and I'm looking for a replacement so I can connect to the internet again. My cable internet modem and cables were replaced after the storm and have been determined to be in working order.
No theories, please -- I'm looking for a proven solution.

Hi
I found the Kingston KNE100TX (NB not KNE110TX) to be satisfactory in my B&W G3.
Drivers required and available from Kingston up to OS9. No drivers required for OSX. See
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/osx_networkcards.html#kingston
(There are other reports in this linked page but my experience is with the KNE100TX)

Cannot configure External Network card

I cannot connect externel Network card to the system.OS cannot see the newly installed networkcard. My OS is SOlaris 10 x86 5/08. i tried different types of Network card Realtek,Datalink. Network Card number is D-Linkk DL10038C .Couldnt find any driver for this Network card that support for Solaris.
Can any one help me please....

Probably as stupid question but is there a way to export the driver from OpenSolaris to Solaris 10 as OpenSolaris supports the NIC?
By the way, I don't know if it matters but the info for my NIC on Solaris 10 appears both in */boot/solaris/devicedb/master* and */etc/driver_aliases*. It's just that the system doesn't detect it, when I run ifconfig -a it only lists the loopback interface.

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.

Thinkpad X130e AMD e300 approved minipci network card and UEFI preventing Fedoraliveusb from booting

I am just wondering where can I find the list for approved minipci wireless network card or disable the UEFI lock for it
I am trying to install Killer NIC N1103 on it
""ERROR
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.""
One more thing is there anyway to disable the UEFI lock so I can boot from my Fedora live usb?

Hello,
As far as I know, Lenovo offers no way to disable the whitelisting for MiniPCIe cards in the BIOS/UEFI firmware.
You may be able to find firmware that does this from a third-party, but I would imagine that installing it voids your warranty. At least until Lenovo-provided firmware is reinstalled.

Bridged networking not working with nested VMware Workstation

I am having an issue that I can't seem to find any answer to....
We are running Vsphere 5.5 and I have 2 Guests each running Windows 7 64-bit. Each of these guests has VMware Workstation 10 running on them. When we P2V the systems we followed all the instructions to allow nested VMware Workstation. However, we are running into an issue where the Bridged Networking will not work. Both of the Win7 guests are on the same vlan and all of the VMs in Workstation are on the same network as well. However, while the 2 Windows 7 guests can ping each other and each of the guests can ping the VMs that are hosted locally, they cannot connect to the systems on the other guest running workstation.
I tried to upgrade the Guest NIC to VMXNet3, but that did not help.
All of the research I have done brings me to people who are having the opposite problem (ESXi nested in VMware Workstation).
How can I get the 2 bridged networks to connect?
Thanks!

The ESXi vSwitch to which the outer guests are connected must be configured for promiscuous mode and forged transmits.

HP Laserjet 2200 and new JetDirect card and DHCP

We had to replace the JetDirect card in an HP laserjet 2200. As soon as that was done, the DHCP service will not give it an IP address in our network. It has an APIPA address 169,254.X.Y. The printer is in a distant branch office and so before I travel to the office I was hoping for hints on why this might have happened (and if anything can be done remotely). On the laserjet 2200, there is no LcD panel or display to alter settings, so we must use the web interface, which we cannot get to. Thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts.
Marty Franek

It appears this is for a commercial printer. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

Auto-join different networks (static and DHCP)

Hello, I am currently using an early 2011 macbook pro, running OSX 10.8.2. I currently work at a few different job sites, where many require static IPs, but at home and the office, we use DHCP to assign IPs. Is there a way to configure my mac to automatically recognize the location where I am, then re-assign it's IPs to either static or to use DHCP? Any help or hack programs would be greatly appreciated. I am a fairly advanced user, and don't mind tweaking the computer.

The setting for fixed IP address vs. use DHCP is for the network adapter hardware, not the specific network. There is no mechanism in OS-X, Windows, Linux ... to do something like you ask. The only way to handle this would be to use an external usb wireless adapter for one of the cases (either DHCP or fixed) and set the internal adapter up for the other case.

Ofcourse substitute all the examples with your valid info.
Hope this helps....

Two unresolved issues: Network card and Microsoft MCE Remote in XBMC

Hi everyone,
I have a "fileserver" running Arch, and also a HTPC running Arch and XBMC. Whilst I am technically not really a newbie, I setup the server and HTPC over two years ago and haven't really touched them all that much since, leading me to lose much of what I learned when I set them up.
I have recently purchased the parts and setup a new HTPC and have setup Arch on it but I have two issues that I cannot resolve without some tips to point me in the right direction.
Problem one:
The onboard network interface on the motherboard doesn't seem to work "out of the box" with Arch. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2H.
lspci -vv shows the following:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

Region 4: Memory at fddf8000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: r8169
ip addr shows the following:
eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 50:e5:49:57:b8:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I am guessing that there is some sort of issue with the Kernel driver in use being r8169 not r8168? Any tips?
The second issues that I am having is quite different. I am using a genuine Microsoft Media Centre remot (version 2 I think). There are two parts to this issue:
1. Upon boot, IRW shows perfect input such as:
000000037ff07be0 00 KEY_DOWN mceusb
000000037ff07be0 00 KEY_DOWN mceusb
000000037ff07be0 01 KEY_DOWN mceusb
000000037ff07be1 00 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 01 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 02 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 02 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 00 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 02 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 00 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 01 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 02 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bd9 00 Guide mceusb
000000037ff07bd9 01 Guide mceusb
000000037ff07bd9 02 Guide mceusb
000000037ff07bd9 03 Guide mceusb
000000037ff07bfe 00 KEY_1 mceusb
000000037ff07bfe 01 KEY_1 mceusb
000000037ff07bfe 02 KEY_1 mceusb
000000037ff07bfd 00 KEY_2 mceusb
000000037ff07bfd 01 KEY_2 mceusb
But the problem is that when I enter XMBC, there is absolutely no response to any buttons on the remote.
2. Once the HTPC has been put to sleep (suspend / S3), upon resume the remote doesn't function quite properly. IRW shows:
^[[B^[[B^[[D^[[D^[[C^[[C^[[A^[[A
The arrow buttons only work in XBMC, but nothing else.
I understand that when the lirc module was put into the kernel it changed the way things worked, but I cannot understand what I am doing wrong here.
Could anyone please provide me some direction in solving these two issues? I am not well versed in Arch, but am willing to try and solve my own problem if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Luke

I am having much the same problem with the RRC-126 and xbmc. At one point, X was making the remote a keyboard, which let some basic stuff work. Changing it in the xorg.conf stopped X from loading it as a keyboard and let lirc take over, then even the most basic functions (left, right, play pause) doesn't work. XBMC does seem to be connecting to lircd, but commands from the remote aren't being picked up (even though irw shows output fine)

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

Two network cards configuration

Hi
I have problem with my network - I have two network cards and it seems they can't live both but I need them both so:
1st card (rtl8139) is connected to cable modem and gets ip by DHCP (eth0="dhcp" in rc.conf)
2nd card (nv forcedeth) is connected to router and gets ip by DHCP too (eth1="dhcp")
When I start them both -> 1st and 2nd card gets good IP by DHCP but when I want to ping google.com for example packet is lost.
What I want ? I want to use my eth0 (1st card) for internet and my 2nd card for local network.
##EDIT##
My resolv.conf is 192.168.1.1 but I need DNS from 1st interface -> how to do this?
