Eth & Internet Connection. Solaris 10

Hi,
Just installed solaris 10 under vmware workstation 5.5, and after the first run got ifconfig -a as follows:
lo0: bla bla 127.0.0.1
e1000g0: bla bla inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.255
The lower-right icon showed warning mark on the connection icon
I tried few things, but had to reboot (after restoring /etc/hosts to original and basically everything as was before).
After reboot ifconfig -a just shows:
lo0: bla bla 127.0.0.1
/etc/hosts shows:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost <my host name>
ifconfig -a plumb doesn't do anything
on boot i see 2 messages regarding this issue:
1. Failed to configure IPv4 interface(s) : pcn0
2. Faiiled to plumb IPv4 interface ....
I have eth card on my pc. in winXP having inet 192.168.0.1 connected to home network on 255.255.255.0. Also having Internet connection under ip 84.x.x.x and the solaris 10 configured to have DHCP
My questions:
1. How do I configure ETH (vmware is in "bridge" mode for ETh), and then see my home network ?
2. How do I connect to the internet ?
I am sorry to say that i work on solaris os for the last 6 years as a C++ Programmer and still doesn't know basic admin issues, but never late to start :)).. anyhow help will be appriciated.

Well, now all ok. I really did copy the resolv.dns to the conf (actually mved it). nameserver now has the winxp ip (192.168.0.1) and site are available from url. I didn't have to route to other computers in my home net because all are in the same subnet (192.168.0.0). Now I also understand "primary" does something (populating what to nameserver?). I'll read it in the man.
Anyhow, now all ok!! Thank you very much for the help on this issue.
Now I need to install weblogic or jboss or some other J EE 5 server and start coding simple progs. We are intend to move to J2E 5 (previously C++, ilog, solaris 8) on our new sun servers with solaris 10 (amazing, BTW... 16 CPUs... almost never in 100% use). So I want to try some things at home..
ThAnKs, & Bye.

Help me please no internet connection solaris 10

hi
recently i had downloaded solaris 10 the download to windows only version i have been using ubuntu for some time
now with solaris 10 i cannot get an internet connection
when i searched the suns site for help
and read some of what to do
the instructions dotn even corresponbd to the version im using.
(i loge into the java enviroment)
anyways suns site tell me to do this
1. Click the [Launch] button and select "Preferences - System".
2. In the following window, double click the "Hardware" icon.
3. In the "Hardware" window, double click the "Network Card" icon.
(((I dont even see a hardwarwe icon there)))
all i se there is network settings configuration agent
nothing i do seems to work.can someone please help me
i ben told solkaris is the best thign out there
and i really wanna see why
thank you so much

Once the steps below have completed successfully, as they
apparently have, then you have created the correct instructions
for compiling the drivers for your card.
# cd /.../vfe-x.x.x
# rm obj Makefile
# ln -s Makefile.i386_gcc Makefile
# ln -s i386 obj
Then you need to actually do the compilation.
Check to see if the 'make' command is in your PATH by
running the following command
# which make
If you get back an error message, it's not in your PATH.
If you get back a directory name, it is.
If it's not in your PATH,
# grep -w make /var/sadm/install/contents
(The word 'none' in that file does not mean a missing
file, BTW.
# man pkgmap
will tell you what the none means -- I've forgotten.
The first field of each row of results is the path to the installed
file. )
On my system, make is installed in /usr/ccs/bin, so I having cd'ed
into the directory of the Makefile (where you were ln -s'ing), I could
either run
# /usr/ccs/bin/make
or I could temporarily add the directory to my PATH, then run 'make'.
# PATH = /usr/ccs/bin ; export PATH
# make
Your make may be installed someplace else, so you'll have to adjust
these examples to suit.
If make completes happily, then your system will have the drivers
for your card installed.
To get the system to actually try to use the drivers needs one last
step:
# ifconfig -a
should only give you lo0, the 127.0.0.1 loopbak address
# ifconfig -a plumb
tries to find all the network cards it can
# ifconfig -a
should give you lo0 and another one (sorry, I don't know what your
card shows up as).
If any of the steps above fail, please provide the commands you ran
and the exact errors messages (good thing you found the floppy! :-> ).
Once you can see two results from ifconfig -a, run the following command
# sys-unconfig
This is the easy way to set up hostname, IP (DHCP), netmask & stuff
without hand-editing files -- it just runs the section of the installer
that would have run, had your card been detected in the first place.

How to configure my netwok in solaris 10 to get an internet connection

Hi,
I am new to this forum and to Solaris in general. I am sorry if this question was asked and treated before.
I just successfully installed Solaris 10 on an intel based workstation. I have an ip address that shows that is "**static**". I have a Fios router which i can get to from Mozilla firefox by opening 192.168.1.1 but i cannot get an internet connection even to register my copy of of Solaris or to get updates.
In the network proxy configuration, I selected : Direct internet connection. My Ip address is 192.168.1.2. I believe it shoub be dynamic not static and if it is true how to cdit the settings to use DHCP. Your help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Aerkadri

If you want your Solaris system to use DHCP, the cleanest way to do this is to run '/usr/sbin/sys-unconfig', let the system reboot, and tell it to use DHCP when it asks you to set up networking.

How to set Internet connection in solaris for DataOne Service in India?

I am using a P4 system with Inter Board D945GTP and i have a internet connection from BSNL. I wold like to connect internet to Solaris express Developer Edition 2/07
Help me!
bye
P.Sathish Kumar

In India one need to configure pppoe for connecting BSNL DataONE broadband. So here is a reference quick guide to setup pppoe for BSNL DataONE
SUNW ppp packages should be already available for you. If you didn't install, you need the following packages. Install them from Solaris CD.
Packages
SUNWpppd - Solaris PPP Device Drivers.
SUNWpppdr - Solaris PPP configuration files.
SUNWpppdt - Solaris PPP Tunneling.
SUNWpppdu - Solaris PPP daemon and utilities.There will be a file myisp.tmpl in /etc/ppp/peers directory. Copy the file to a filename /etc/ppp/peers/bsnl
~# cp /etc/ppp/peers/myisp.tmpl /etc/ppp/peers/bsnl
Note the conventions used here
USERNAME       - is your BSNL id eg (userid)
PASSWORD       - provided by bsnl (*****)
INTERFACENAME - is your ethernet card name eg (bge0, hme0....) Edit /etc/ppp/peers/bsnl file using an editor. The uncommented section should look like the following:
Where INTERFACE should be your ethernet interface name and USERNAME is your broadband user name.
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/myisp-chat" # dial into ISP.<br>
sppptun
plugin pppoe.so
connect "/usr/lib/inet/pppoec INTERFACE"
user USERNAME           # my account name at my ISP
remotename bsnl # name of the ISP; for pap-secrets
noauth                  # do not authenticate the ISP's identity (client)
noipdefault             # assume no IP address; get it from ISP
defaultroute            # install default route; ISP is Internet gateway
updetach                # log errors and CONNECT string to invoker
noccp                   # ISP doesn't support free compressionNow there are two configuration files that needs to be updated.
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/etc/ppp/chap-secretsIn these two files add the entry as follows
USERNAME        bsnl    PASSWORDWhere USERNAME is your broadband username and PASSWORD is you broadband password. Your configuration is almost completed. Now for connecting:
#/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoe INTERFACENAME
#/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoed INTERFACENAME
#/usr/bin/pppd debug call bsnlYou need to specify dns server to resolve dns names. Create a file in /etc with name /etc/resolv.conf and copy the nameserver info. For example:
echo nameserver 61.1.96.71 > /etc/resolv.confNote: The IP specified here is BSNL nameserver. Please ask your BSNL operator for exact dns address. Or else you can use the opendns.com server IP.
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf Make a backup copy so that you can copy back when needed.
cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bsnlIn case you are still not able to resolv dns name, check if dns/client service is running or not.
svcs -a | grep dns/clientIf not enable
svcadm enable dns/clientIf not online, try starting
svcadm restart dns/client
or
svcadm refresh dns/clientHere is a simple script that can help you for connecting after configuring PPPoE.
#!/usr/bin/bash
ifconfig bge0 plumb
pkill -9 pppd
/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoe bge0
/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoed bge0
sleep 5
/usr/bin/pppd debug call bsnl
echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 61.1.96.71 >> /etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
svcadm restart dns/clientRegards

Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
That’s it. Job done
If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
Let me know how you get on.

New solaris 10 will nor register no internet connection

Hello Everybody
I installed solaris 10 with dhcp active. Firefox will connect to internet, I can surf the net. When I went to register and run updates, I input name and password. When I click next it tells me there is no internet connection. Is there something that i am missing.
Any help would be use full
thank you
kevin

are you talking about registering the solaris (host)?
or are you talking about registering patch updates? for instance - EG: smpatch, updatemanager. if it is the later and you are using updatemanager, use sconadm to register instead.
if it i to register the host, don't know. I wouldn't register it.

How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ADSL modem

I ,m new to Solaris. How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ethernet ADSL modem? will solaris recognise the ethernet modem?? I only have windows drivers for the ethernet modem. Where to look for info on this?

The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or <br>
Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
"Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

Having problems sharing internet Connection from Macbook to Vonage Adapter

Hello,
I just got my Vonage adaptor and I am trying to share the Internet connection from my Macbook Pro (10.7.3) to the Adaptor to use the Vonage service bc my router is downstairs.
I turned off my Firewall, hooked my Vonage adapter to the Macbook with the ethernet cable and then went to Sys Preferences > Sharing > Selected Internet Sharing > Share Connection from Wifi to computers using Ethernet, and it looks like everything is ok but when i try to use the phone which is connected to to Vonage Adapter, it says "Your Vonage device cannot connect to the internet, check to see if your high speed internet is down".
I went and looked at my Network preferences and it shows Ethernet connected which is the Vonage Adapter and gives the following:
IP Address: 169.254.163.167
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Is there something Im doing wrong? Ive seen on several forums that its possible to do but having bad luck. Any help is appreciated.

All I know is that I got Ubuntu to share internet and offer IPs through DHCP by using Firestarter. I am very new to Solaris, however, and am looking forward to learning about it. I've just made it my regular desktop environment. Long as you can get Solaris to configure its network interface with DHCP after your Ubuntu is configured, you should be able to share to as many clients as you'd like. Fedora also works well for that, and in my opinion, it's a better Linux than Ubuntu, though Solaris remains a better Linux than Linux, right? Har.

Another Internet connection problem with solariis dev express

I have the same problem, i was installed new solaris dev express , my ifconfig output detects my nic
and my name nic is nge0, but i dont connect to internet.
i was reading this forums but the result is null.
i have a cable modem and i using a ethernet connection.
i use this command:
*#ifconfig nge0 dhcp start*
the result is null the dhcp doesnt assing an ip to my nic
then i create a */etc/hostname.nge0* file and follow comments that i seeing on this forums
*#uname -n > /etc/hostname.nge0* ...too i create a */etc/dhcp.nge0*
again i wrote:
*#ifconfig nge0 dhcp start*
but no , the result is null
then i follow more comments on this solaris forums and i added the dns in */etc/resolv.conf*
but the result still null
later i check the gateway using the comand
*#netstat -nr*
but only i see my loopback ip --> 127.0.0.1
too i used the command
*#sys-unconfig* , reboot ..mmm no
but still the same problem
my question is how to set the internet connection using a cable modem that workkssss!!!!!!!?
my computer is a 32bit machine with solaris devexpress and my cable modem.
how to tell to solaris which is my gateway?
i know that the command in my linux box is: route add default gw ip
what i have to do?
i modify a */etc/nsswitch.conf* and i added a dns word after files in hosts line.
create a */etc/defaultrouter* <-- this is to when i have a internal lan ip
in the */etc/hostname.nge0* put only my hostname
*/etc/hostname.nge0* <-- myhostname
or
*/etc/hostname.nge0* <-- inet myhostname
what is true? what is correct? i wsas reading about solaris offical docs about dhcpagent but i dont have clear my ideas.
please someone that you know how to set the internet connection on solaris dev exprres using the dhcp that serves on cable modem.
i dont believe that be more complicated than Linux or FreeBSD
Thanks.

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
(OPTIONAL) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Sharing my internet connection TO an airport extreme? How can I do this..

Hi,
My Mac Pro is connected directly to my modem on Ethernet port 1 (Eth-1).
The connection is solid and my Mac Pro can browse the internet.
What I am now trying to accomplish is to share my internet connection with my family who is using an Airport Extreme Base Station.
My setup is as follows:
Modem --> Mac Pro on Ethernet 01.
Inet Sharing on Mac Pro via build-in airport card == Wifi, works.
Inet Sharing on Mac Pro via Ethernet 02 --> AEBS WAN Port == Wifi & cabled connections do not work.
How can I get my AEBS to accept this shared connection, using this shared connection as the source for the internet that is being shared from the AEBS to both, Wifi and Cable, connected clients?
The reason for this setup is that normally my family has their own modem & isp which connects to the AEBS but the modem has broken and it will be a week until the replacement arrives so I need to share my connection with them until then.
The distance between my shared wifi and their AEBS is too far, which is why only having the working wifi is not good enough.
Any help would be much appreciated as I have spend the last 2 hours trying all kinds of configurations to no avail.
Thanks for reading,
Jannis

Hi,
I currenly have a DSL modem that is a router as well and is WiFi able.
This gives me one LAN with no subnets as there is no other routing device.
Previously I had DSL modem that did DHCP (Issued IPs) but did not do WiFi so I had a Wifi Router, which also did DHCP by default. This is two overlapping subnets (modem > Router > Computers(s) AND Router > Computer)
Because the WiFi router is effectively fairly dumb it passes on any routing info from the modem.
This means the computer(s) get two IPs although System Preferences > Network can only show one.
What I did was set the DSL Modem to not do DHCP.
The Router then needs the IP of the Modem (Gateway), the DNS servers, the Subnet Mask entered in the boxes that usually appear for Static Routing. You also need to tell the Router to use on IP that is in the range the Modem is using.
This stops the overlapping subnets and makes the LAN more Linear.
Modem > router followed by Router to Computers(s)
Now your Mac Pro is taking the place of a Router and arguably a WiFi Base Station.
Re 1)
If Internet Sharing is set to do Ethernet (from Modem to Mac Pro) to Wifi I can't see that it can be set to do Ethernet (1 as you call it) to Ethernet (2) to get to the Airport Base Station.
I take it the Airport Base Station cannot "See" the Mac Pro's Wifi ?
Ideally it should be set to Bridge (Off) Mode - Not doing DHCP) so that it extends the range of the Mac Pro's WiFi network.
Re 2)
If the Base Station was in Bridge Mode then all the other house's computers would get IPs from the Mac Pro's subnet.
If it is Sharing an IP then they get their own Subnet from the Base Station.
Depending on what range the Mac Pro Uses and the Base Station is set to, you may get conflicting IP addresses.
To a certain extent Subnets can be useful as long as they are separated properly and Linear.
Consider it this way.
The Postal Service uses House numbers and street names in overlapping subnets to deliver mail.
The White House (as computer) is in Washington (router) which is in the USA
Now think of a house on a corner plot. Before city planners or postal service gets their hands on it it possibly could be considered to be house 30 Main Street as well as house 1 Side Avenue. Technically a letter could be addressed to either 1, Side Ave or 30, Main Street, Imaginary Little Town.
On the other hand the upstairs of you house is part of that house (in the same LAN) However it can only be accessed by the stairs (Separate, linear Subnet).
Certain apps can deal with/ignore overlapping subnets but others need the set up to be more linear. (iChat and other IM apps are one sort)
I hope this helps some more.

Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

Hi, Under Water.
You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.
