(but you kept that particular information a secret in your forum post)
If the Ethernet chipset is supported, you then need to install the drivers.
By the way, very few wireless networking chipsets are supported.

  • How to setup Internet connection in Solaris 10

    Hi All,
    I recently installed Solaris 10 in my laptop as a guest OS which is having Host OS of Windows 7 by using Virtual Box.
    I shared all my hardwares and network connection and still I cannot use the internet connection in my guest OS (Solaris 10).
    I'm new to this could anyone please provide steps to set up internet connection in Solaris 10???
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

    Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
    The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
    Thanks!!
    PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

    The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
    How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
    So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
    On the next tab where you set IP address.
    Click the renew IP address.
    It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
    What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
    In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to share internet connection from cable modem through built-in airport on imac?

    I have a cable modem with ethernet going into imac. How can I share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards?
    I would love to put an ethernet router between the imac and the modem and share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards as well.
    Thanks!

    The setup I had working is what I have connected to the internet now. A cable modem with one ethernet jack that plugs into the iMac. The airport from the iMac broadcast to my G5 with an airport card in it and received the internet connection. The PC received it the same way from the iMac but to a Netgear wireless adapter.
    I messed things up recently adding a wired 4 port ethernet router between the iMac and the modem, so that the modem ethernet plugged into the router, and from the router, plugged into the iMac which then could receive the internet but no more airport connections to my other machines. Haven't been able to get it working since.

  • How to setup the connection between non-unicode client and unicode server?

    hi.
    we played the program in 4.6x that call a data from unicode server (ECC6.0) to non-unicode server.  ( not played in the unicode server.)
    When a program ended that English Character was normal, but Korean Chinease... was unknown text.
    I think conversion from unicode to non-unicode is a main reason.
    General Notes are issued for the unicode side rfc connection configuration.
    but, i want to know how to setup into the non-unicode system to interface with unicode system.
    I hope your great answer.

    Hi,
    For taht you have to deploy korean and chinese langauges seprately on non unicode system.Then try to connect to the unicode system.It will work for you.

  • How to setup startup script in Solaris 10

    Could anyone point me out how to setup a startup script at run level 3 or 2 in solaris 10 ?
    Any previous solaris such as 9, 8, I just write a script and put in /etc/init.d/, then link it to run level 3 or 2. But in solaris 10 is different now.
    I could not find any in the manual.
    Thanks.

    Could anyone point me out how to setup a startup

    Any previous solaris such as 9, 8, I just write a
    script and put in /etc/init.d/, then link it to run
    level 3 or 2. You can do the same thing in Solaris 10.
    But in solaris 10 is different now.There are alternative methods that are recommended (creating a service via a manifest file), but the old startup stuff still works just fine. You don't get the benefits of monitoring and fine-grained dependencies with the legacy startup scripts.
    I could not find any in the manual.An older doc is http://mediacast.sun.com/share/bobn/SMF-migrate.pdf. You might also check the SMF FAQ.

  • How to get internet connection from Airport Express to a PC?

    I recently bought an Airport Express to get internet connection from my new MAC COMPUTER TO ANOTHER PC which is located in another room. For unknown reason, I could not get the other PC to work. Any idea how to fix it so that I can get internet connection for my PC? Many thanks for your expert assistance.

    Currently, the Airport Express (not the Airport Express Extreme router) is acting as a base station via Ethernet to a cable modem.
    I guess that it would be correct to assume that your new Mac can connect wirelessly to the AirPort Express base station, and access the Internet that way.
    I am not sure if my 41/2 year old HP(Hewlect Packard) PC - (with AMD Athlon 64 3400 processor) which I am unable to get internet connection now is Wi-Fi capable.
    You said "Prior to using the new Airport Express,I was using the Linksys wireless G router and have a wireless adapter sitting on top of my PC.". The wireless adapter would be Wi-Fi certified (they normally are). Is it a USB adapter? Please post back with the exact model.
    Question: do I still need to use the adapter or not? Or the new Airport Express is enough to send internet signal to the PC?
    A Wi-Fi adapter would act as a wireless network card for a PC, and should communicate wirelessly with an AirPort Express base station without a problem (providing that the chosen security/encryption is supported on both sides). Since the wireless adapter apparently was OK (with the Linksys router), you should be able to continue using it. Any other (built-in) wireless capability ought to be externally visible at the PC as a PCI card with an antenna.
    Does the (Windows?) PC operating system detect any wireless networks? Is your AirPort Express on this list (even if you cannot connect or access the Internet)?

  • How to share internet connection from notebook to mobile phone with micro usb cord in Debian based OS? (reverse tethering)

    I want to share internet connection from notebook to my mobile phone (Keon) with micro usb cord (because I don't have wifi). I found in Firefox OS (version: Boot2Gecko 1.1.1.0-prerelease) Settings only the possibility to share internet from mobile phone to PC. I use a Debian based OS: Knoppix. I tried to accomplish this with Networking Manager and I did a new wired connection via my phone with "Shared to other computers" IPv4 Settings and with FE:...:02 (usb0) MAC address. But on my phone there is not internet although the connecton between my notebook and phone is estableshed.

    Hi Pimpo,
    Thank you for posting your question. I was trying to reproduce your the Shared network, and I would love to know what kind of network you used to connect. This is not possible as of yet and I will file a bug being able to do this, but to make sure I have the right steps on the bug can you confirm the set up of the shared network please?
    Also this is currently not possible because the software does not know how to send network traffic over usb, assuming you do not have the ability to turn the computer into a wifi hot spot, which I would recommend instead...

  • How to share internet connection over wifi to an ethernet decive using airport express?

    Hi i have a device that it can only be connected to the internet via ethernet in a diferent room (and far) where my primary internet connection is. I have my network configured like this: cable modem >>>  connected via ethernet >>> to airport time capsule >>> connectes via wi fi >>> to airport express last generation "n" >>> connected via ethernet cable to device. The problem is that i'm not having internet conection in my ethernet connected device. Anyone know if I have to configure something in some special way or if i'm doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Guido

    It should work fine..
    To figure this out, check if the Express is connected by wireless properly and getting an IP.. you will see that in airport utility.
    Make sure you are set to either extend or join the wireless network. The Express should then pass an IP to the "device".
    No luck start over.. reset everything to factory.
    If the TC is older model use 7.6.1 firmware.. it works much better for extend wireless.
    Use short names.. 2-20 characters no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Then set the Express again in extend wireless mode.
    It is pretty easy in v6 airport utility. Look at the posts from Bob Timmons on how to extend wireless.. he must have answered those question a thousand times in the last few years.
    Here is one I did. https://discussions.apple.com/message/24161378#24161378

  • How to share internet connection with KDE networkmanager applet

    I mainly use wireless around my house and like to use one computer to share it's wireless to another when installing Arch, until I can get KDE and networkmanager installed so I can easily connect to the wireless. I've always been able to easily share internet connections with Ubuntu, but when I try it with Arch, with Gnome OR KDE (and their respective applets), It just doesn't work.
    Is there some library or backend I need to install to make ICS work?
    Thanks!
    Last edited by MetaMan (2011-09-10 22:12:26)

    If this helps at all, here is what I am currently trying: I open up the network settings KDE Control Module, select "Wired", select the device (eth0) and click edit, and under the "IPv4 Address" tab  selecting "Shared" from the "Method" drop-down.
    Also, to make it clearer, I am trying to share wlan0(on device 1) through eth0 to eth0 on device 2. Also, device 2 is running the Arch setup and I am telling it to connect to eth0 via DHCP after I select the remote mirror to use. I have managed to do this before when device 1 ran Ubuntu.
    I've searched Google, the forums, read the wiki pages for KDE and networkmanager, and can't seem to find a mention of internet connection sharing (pertaining to my usage case; the forums have some posts of people trying to use their computer to broadcast eth0, I'm trying to do the opposite) anywhere on them. In fact, I'll gladly write the section myself if I figure this problem out.
    Hope this extra information helps!
