Internet on solaris 10

Ii solaris 10 everything was ok with the instalation. The update manager is working and download-INSTALL some updates. But the web browser can not connect even to sun.com.
I know a few things about the network because i was a windows os user.

Check these files for correct configuration:
/etc/resolv.conf (here you put dns, domain, etc.)
/etc/nsswitch.conf (in the HOSTS line include the DNS option)
/etc/defaultrouter (here you put the gateway)
If you have a proxy server, please configure it in the browser too.

Hi,
What is the gateway used by Solaris. Please send the result of ifconfig -a on the Sun OS.

How to configure to access internet on Solaris 10 SPARC

Dear All,
how to configure to access internet on Solaris 10 SPARC.
Thanks and regards,

What you need is just an IP address on your network interface and configure dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf.

Configure Internet in Solaris 10

I new in Solaris
The computer have the fallowing IP 192.168.1.101
Router 192.168.1.1
other in the lan 192.168.1.100 (Windows Xp with Internet throw the router)
The computer with Solaris ping the router and the other
The DNS server is 194.65.100.117
the 2 is 194.65.2.5
what I have to do to have internet?
Thank you

Hello,
direct config files edit can look like the following:
echo "192.168.1.1" > /etc/defaultrouter
echo "nameserver 194.65.100.117" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 194.65.2.5" >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo "192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/netmasks
then you have to decide the name of the computer (let it be 'abc') and the interface where you have the connection to internet - can be found using 'ifconfig -a' (let it be 'ce0')
echo "192.168.1.100 abc" >> /etc/hosts
echo "abc" > /etc/hostname.ce0

Cannot connect to the Internet in Solaris 10

Hi, I've always been a Windows user and am now trying out some various Linux distros. This is mainly because I need to use the programming environment 'Poplog' for my University course, and would like to be able to work on things on my own computer as well as the ones on campus. So I apologise now for being a complete Linux newbie and not understanding any terminal commands etc...
I've already tried using Ubuntu 6.10, but couldn't manage to install Poplog for whatever reason and so decided to try Solaris instead. I'm on a small home network (not wireless) at the moment consisting of my computer and only one other, and Ubuntu had no problems whatsoever connecting to this straight away. It simply worked as soon as I had installed Ubuntu and didn't have to play around with any settings or drivers.
This is not the case with Solaris 10! I have no idea how to get the internet to work in this operating system, so I would really appreciate some advice! In case it makes any difference, my computer is a Pentium 4 3.06 GHz and the network card is the one that was built in when I bought the PC (Dell Dimension 4600) - I think it is the 'Intel Pro/100' network card or something very similar. The name of the home network is MSHOME I think; the default setting when configuring the network within Windows.
The only menu within Solaris that I could find to enter my network details was entitled "Configure Network Proxy Settings". Assuming this is the correct place, I still have no idea what to enter as my 'Proxy Host Name' and 'Proxy Port'. Is this even the correct place to set up the Internet or do I need to do this somewhere else?
Thanks for any help!

I have the same problem and will give some details
It is a dell machine with a built in NIC card
It took me a while to figure out how to find the device name and enter it
devfsadm -v will scan for new hardware
prtconf -pv will show you devices detected in the system
find in the list the portion titled ethernet
the name of your device is a combination of
pciVVVV,DDDD
where VVVV is vendor id (in my case 8086)
DDDD device ID (in my case 1050)
update_drv -a -i ' "pci8086,1050" ' iprb
do not forget to use single quotation marks and double quotation marks and the name of your interface that in my case was iprb
ifconfig -a plumb will give you a chance that by the next
ifconfig -a you will seethe NIC interface
then you can use ifconfig to give it an ip
anyway this procedure was god enough for me to see the machine in the local network, but still I can not connect to internet.
I have a WRP-2310 router working as DHCP server and have entered the ip's in the hosts file
Still missing something I guess. Any help will be appreciated

Cannot connect to internet in Solaris 10 OS.

I setup X4500 running solaris 10 OS. But, I cannot connect to internet. I do not understand whats wrong with that. When I ping google or any other site from X4500 its not transferring any packets. I can ssh it from a remote computer. So, running fine on the network. I have a static IP for that. Could someone please help me with this.
Thank you

Can you ping your own default gateway's IP address?
Can you traceroute to a public IP address like forums.sun.com (72.5.124.102)?
Can you use nslookup to resolve hostnames to IP addresses?
Does your /etc/resolv.conf have lines like:
nameserver 192.168.0.10
Where 192.168.0.10 is the IP address of your local DNS server(s)?
Did you copy /etc/nsswitch.dns over /etc/nsswitch.conf before trying to reach websites?
I hope investigating these questions help.

Reg: How to Configure internet for solaris 10 in x86 32 bit

Hi,
I am new to Sun Solaris can any one help me detailed step of how to configure internet for standalone pc. Thanks in Advance
Thanx
MA

OK, the classical way:
Open a terminal.
Type
ifconfig -a
ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig -a
Note the differences, it will plumb ALL available interfaces this way. So, now you can see, which device is your network card.
Then perform a
ifconfig <interface> unplumb
for all the newly interfaces (aka those, that were new in the last ifconfig -a output).
Then, the simple way:
cd /etc
vi hostname.<interface-driver-name>0 (example: hostname.rge0, the driver would be rge, the instance is 0, and rge0 would have been displayed as an available interface in the last ifconfig command). Add the name of the host into this file.
Then
vi /etc/inet/hosts
and add the pair of IP-address and hostname.
If needed:
vi /etc/inet/netmasks
if you have a sub-divided network, and you need a differenbt subnet mask...
Then:
vi /etc/defaultrouter
and add the name or ip-adress of the gateway... (name only, if you have that name also in the /etc/inet/hosts file!)
Also:
vi /etc/nodename
and add the name of your host into that file, so that the system knows, who it is... ;-)
And: For the DNS you can then add the infos into:
/etc/resolv.conf
For example:
nameserver 192.168.2.1
or some such...
Then, as the last but one step:
ls /etc/nsswitch.*
and:
cd /etc
cp nsswitch.<what you need> nsswitch.conf (should be .files here!)
And the reboot... ;-)
HTH!
Matthias
P.S.: There might be some GUI, but I'm an old-timer, so I prefer the command-line version of things...

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.

Need help to activate my internet on solaris

Hello everyone,
I just installed solaris, but I was having problem of setting up my internet. Before I installed solaris, I had windows and the internet worked fine. I was wondering what part of the configuration am I missing? I have browsed through some of the past threads, but I am having some difficulty of understanding them. I am pretty new to the linux/solaris OS. If anyone can help me with this, I would really appreate.
Thank you.

Sorry, but as the matter of fact that I am a student, I rely on my internet quite heavy for school works. So I have decided to temperarily boot with vista. I will try to reboot with solaris during this weekend for all the suggestions that everyone has provided for me. I hope this is okay. I will for sure get back this weekend and try to make things work.
Thank you all

export http_proxy=http://muvvas :'abc&@xyz'@test.com:8080
export https_proxy=http://muvvas :'abc&@xyz'@test.com:8080
export ftp_proxy=http://muvvas :'abc&@xyz'@test.com:8080

Configuring Internet on solaris 10!!

Hello everyone,
I am new to solaris 10, i use broadband internet that requires username and password. Please tell me how can i configure it using java dsktop. Please tell from the scratch.
waiting for reply
Amitoj

Sorry for my English, please.
I have a DSL connection that uses username and password, I use network card and router modem.
I can connect using ppp. It's easy to configure. First of all test your network configuration, or type sys-unconfig and clear all.
When the computer reboot, answer the questions, network? yes. router NO, DHCP NO, services DNS, other questions will be video driver, keyboard, etc.
You have in :http://www.phildev.net/solaris/spppoe.htlm an excellent guide for configure ppp.
REMEMBER: First reconfigure your system, I had a several days lost configuring ppp.

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
