?? configure network-cards under Sol. 8 ?? please heeellpplp

Hi,
I'm a stand alone Solaris's user (at home). Since about 2 months I've installed Solaris 8 on my PC, and wont be able to configure my Internet-Connection and my privat Home-Network.
I'd already read about 500 different publication's pages, but wont be able to go any further. My main PC contain Solaris 8 and has two RTL-Network-Cards. One for the Internet Connection(LAN), and the other (interne hub) for my small privat network at home. I've read there should be two files named: /etc/hostname.XXX0, XXX1. But there arent such files to see by me. The only file I have is "/dev/hostname.". I've tried to create them and lunch some commands I've seen in some manual's page.
Result ===> some error messages by the boot sequence.
Please can anyone help? Without having these cards working, I can't have any Internet connection.
The OS (Solaris) is already working on my PC, and I love it. But the only problem is how to set up these damned hardware, Network-Cards, Sound-Card and. I don't really know how to start with.
Please help!! Dont want to give up and I will not! Please help me to enjoy that hard work.
Thanks for helping.
PS: I'm connected to the internet trought Network (LAN), i.e I'm using a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet network-card, and the interne Hub is also a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet card.

yes. you got it .... eg..
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.le1
in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
# hostname <cr>
should give your hostname.
now, in the hosts file: eg:
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
<your ip address> <your hostname> loghost
129.156.89.252 host2
you need to reboot after this.
if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
also, see:
# man hosts
# man ifconfig

How do I get an Equium A110-233 to recognise the network card under Linux?

Hi,
I've just bought an Equium A110-233. I partitioned the hard disk so I've got XP and Fedora Core 5 (FC5).
XP works fine when I plug in the network cable, but FC5 (or at least the Linux kernel) does not seem to be able to find and activate the network card.
The message I get is "8139too device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization". The 8139too module is in memory as is mii (which points to it).
Somehow I need to get Linux to detect that the card is there, but I just don't know how to do that. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi
As far as I know the notebook has a integrated Realtek Network I/F Chip RL8100CL.
I think you should googol around for the compatible LAN driver for Linux which supports this chip.
Unfortunately, on the Toshiba page you will not find any drivers for any Linux distribution because Toshiba doesnt support this OS. ;(

Configure network card on laptop

I've installed solaris 9 on a NEC versa lx laptop and during installation in does not see the 10/100Mbps 16-bit PCMCIA Ethernet PC Card network card. Can someone help me with this problem?
Newcomer

You need to check the x86 hardware compatibility list to see if that laptop and the interface in it are supported.

13" Macbook Pro Network Card- Bootcamp users please help!

Does anybody know precisely the model of the Ethernet card in the New 13" inch macbook pros?
I am currently running Vmware and windows fundamentals- it's missing the drivers so i can't connect to the internet....

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
VMWare Fusion brings its own set of drivers to be installed in the Guest Operating System.
They are called Vmware Tools.
No additional driver is usually neeeded and most likely won't work, since the Ethernet card is not adressed natively, but through an abstraction layer.
There is a new 2.05 version of Fusion avaiable, have you tried it already ?

Network Card Configuration

Hi,
Could anybody tell me the command for configuring network card in Solaris 10. I installed Solaris 10 and my network card does not work any more. Thank you
OC.

The commands (logged in as root) are:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
(Add the network card to the system if it has not been added to the system yet.)
ifconfig network_card_name ip_addr up
(Start the network card)
The configuration gets lost after re-booting the system.
To permanently add a network card to the system create the file
/etc/hostname.network_card_name
for example:
/etc/hostname.hme0
This file contains just one line. This line is a host name from /etc/hosts that corresponds to the IP address of the card.
The use of DHCP is a bit more complex:
Use DHCP once:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
ifconfig network_card_name dhcp up
Use DHCP after re-boot:
Create /etc/hostname.network_card_name
Create /etc/dhcp.network_card_name
Leave both files empty.

Airport Card not picking up networks...Someone please help!!

Alright heres the deal. I just bought my first MAC, a Mac Pro With 2 2.66 Xeon processors, yes this thing should fly the space shuttle(you'd think). But why does Apple not have a preinstalled Airport Card in their top of line unit? Who knows. Anyway, I went to the Apple store and purchased one and installed it, no problem. It should work, right? WRONG. My nightmare has started. The computer definitely reads that the card is there. ID and all. But I am not seeing and IP address in the dialog box/tab TCP??. I have called Apple Care to no avail, folks at the store, don't have a clue, so i thought i'd give this forum one more shot at the hopes that someone here will know how to configure this thing and get me on line. NAturally i am writing this from my trusty ol' PC...which never fails me, btw. FYI, the other two computers in my houselhold, this trusty Sony Viao and an iMAC laptop, have no problem at all picking up network signals. And folks come over all the time with their MAC laptops and never have a problem accessing our network..so why can't my MAC PRO? Is there a driver to install, and if so why did it not come in the box with the Card? Someone please help me out before i take this thing back and get a PC. I am on the verge. Thanks.

Let's double-check your AirPort settings:
To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

Please Help!! Network Card Won't Detect Modem.. Advise about my options?

Thank you in advance for reading my post and for any help and advise..
I am on a friends computer because my Network Card went caput!.. now my computer can not detect my modem..
What happened?.. my surge protector did not protect my iMac during a thunder storm, and I have not been able to get online since.
I am almost sure now that my Network Card is the problem.. I have heard I will have to replace the entire board now! This could not have come at a worse time for me, so I am hoping and praying someone here will have a less expensive work around for me.
I am currently running a 700MHz G4 Flat Pannel with a DSL modem from Bell South. I was using my Ethernet input to get online, but, again, the modem can no longer be detected. This particular modem will not allow me to connect via USB either. If it did allow me to connect via USB, would that even work seeing how my network card is a wash?
Is there a way I can get another modem and use a USB or wireless something or the other to get my iMac back online without having to sell my arm and leg?
Sorry about the length of this post; I just want to make sure I cover as many bases as I can think of. Thank you again for any help; I really appreciate it! *april

BRAD!.. we are two ships sailing in the same mirky water; please somebody light a flair or something! =P
I always thought these things happened to 'other' people.. REALLY stinks to be us right now.
I have been doing some more reading.. my friend was nice enough to let me borrow his computer for a little bit. However, I still have not come across a definitive answer for a proven Internet access alternative.
So far, I have read about one other option that MAY work.. What I really need to know is.. with a corrupt Network Card, is it even POSSIBLE to get online by ANY other means? Or does having a corrupt Network Card mean that it destroys ANY other way to get online without having to replace the entire board? Is the Network Card what enables us to get online, or does the Network Card just allow us to connect to the Internet via Ethernet cable alone? I still have not found an answer to these questions.
That said, I mentioned reading about another Internet connection solution. This other option involves buying what is called a wireless router and a wireless AirPort card. I think they have to be installed inside the hard shell?? So with these parts and service, I believe we are still looking at a ballpark of US$200. I wish somebody could tell us, are there any other options?
On a side note, I have also learned that my particular 700 MHz iMac Flat Pannel will NOT take the wirelss AirPort EXTREME card; it will ONLY take the Original AirPort card, which, by the way, are more expensive and hard to find. Not too sure exactly what iMac Flat Pannel you have, Brad, but you should try to find out which one will work for your iMac. I don't know if I should trust eBay for used electronics, but it seems you can pick them up for a little less money than on any online websites. I saw some on a website called macofalltrades.com for about US$100.00; this website looks legit. I also tried Craigslist.ORG, and somebody was only selling an AirPort Extreme card, not the original... It may be worth looking on a near by big city local Craigslist though; make sure you click on the city nearest you.. The default craigslist.org is for San Francisco. I have heard a wireless router costs about US$40.00. However, I don't know exactly what a wireless router is or even what type I need to be looking for, what brand etc??
I need to know if I buy an AirPort card, will I also have to buy that AirPort Base thing as well?? All this information is becoming overwhelming. Could somebody please try to clairify? We would be eternally greatful! =)
Sorry about your computer, Brad; I know what you're going through. =(

How to configure Netgear FA510C Network Card

Try to use devfsadm -v to find the device
Then use ifconfig dnet0 (not positive this is the right syntax for SMC) to plumb the device.
Then use ifconfig dnet0 192.168.50.4 up
You may have to modify these files to get the IP to come up on startup and properly resolve:
/etc/hostname.dnet0
/etc/netmasks

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.

Network Card XP Driver Configuration

I've installed winxp home in Imac 17'', but it doesn't detect the network card.
How can I install the correct drivers? Does anyone know what is the card's label so I can download the drivers.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

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 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:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2)"

#HOSTNAME="archabit64"

Of course, yours is more circunvoluted, but perhaps it helps.
