Need help connecting to ISP through DSL/router

Hi
I need help configuring my intel solaris8 box to get to the internet. I have dsl going into a linksys router. my windows machine have no problem using the DNS servers from pacbell. i also have DNS setup on my novell server, but the solaris8 box still can't resolve anything. I can ping everyone on my segement, I can connect to my novell web server netscape navigator but can't resolve it's name, i have to use it's ip address. I can remote logon. I lloked for a resolv.conf file but can't find one, help!!!!
Danny

Edit /etc/resolv.conf (it may not exist) with the following lines:
domain your.domain.name
nameserver your.primary.dns.ip
nameserver your.secondary.dns.ip
search your.domain.suffix
The last line is optional, but please do substitute those values for the ones that you use.
As far as a default route goes, just edit /etc/defaultrouter (may not exist) and put the ip of your default gw on a single line.

  • Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

    I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
    I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

  • Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

    Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
    My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
    I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
    For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
    If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

    In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

    I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

    Howdy sprinklemk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
    To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
    An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
    A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
       OS X version 10.6.8 or later
       Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you

  • Need help connecting wireless router to wired router

    Our computers (1 desktop, 1 laptop,and our Xbox) are presently connected to a Dynex DX-E401 4-Port/Cable/DSL Router. We would like to keep this arrangement for the XBox & desktop for gaming purposes (general consensus seems to be a wired connection is faster than wireless). However, I would like to add a Linksys WRT54GL Ver 1.1 wireless router for another laptop to roam around the house. Can I just connect the Linksys wireless router into the Dynex wired router, or does everything now have to go through the wireless router first? To connect the wireless router, do I run the setup CD in the laptop that I want to primarily use the wireless router? I'm not the most savvy when it comes to this stuff, but can follow detailed directions. If there are any links/videos, etc. you can refer to me to that already addresses this issue, that would be great. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

    You don't run the setup disk at all. Actually, you don't want a router you only want a wireless access point.
    Wire a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (default password is "admin").
    On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to a free IP address in your DSL router LAN. If the DSL router uses 192.168.1.1 as well, you may be able to set it to 192.168.1.2 unless the DHCP server on the DSL router uses 192.168.1.2.
    On the same configuration page of the WRT disable the DHCP server.
    Save settings.
    Unplug the computer.
    Wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your DSL router.
    That's it. Now you are able to do any further configuration through the web interface of the WRT at http://192.168.1.2/ (or whatever IP address you have set).
    Don't forget to enable wireless security WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase and change the router password "admin" on the Administration/Management page.

  • Oracle Server Access through DSL Router

    Hi All,
    I have Oracle 9i server on Windows 2000 and working fine in Local Area Network. I have broadband connection with one static IP. Internet ISP has given a router. From outside office I can connect to Oracle through the static IP. I just have to do port forwarding settings in the router. I tried port forwarding settings for terminal services, web server, Citrix, and other applications and it is working fine. But when I do port forwarding for Oracle for port 1521 (Oracle is running on default port) then from outside Office LAN it doesn't work. Can anyone help me out why I'm not able to connect to Oracle.
    Praveen

    Perhaps because 1521 is only being used for the initial contact with the listener. Once that contact has been established, the listener tells the database and the user process to communicate on another port - often randomly assigned.
    Which can be circumvented by using the conneciton manager as described in the Networking reference manual in the database docco.

  • Can't connect with modem through e2500 router

    I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem hooked to my e2500 router. Everything works well except if for some reason my modem disconnects from ISP I can not log into it through the route to reconnect it. I must plug a direct cable into modem from computer run connect script then plug modem back into router all is fine again.
    Any ideas why connecting to modem through router is blocked?
    Thnaks,

    My Speedstream only has one Ethernet connection so I didn't realize that it looked like a router to the local network. I changed the mode to bridge on the Speedstream and setup PPoE on e2500 and reconnected to ISP on e2500 setup screen. That may solve the problem of reconnecting since now it is managed on the e2500.
    One thing I now see is since I left the modem IP set to 192.168.0.X I can't get to it at all through the e2500. Is that because my DHCP in e2500 is setup with 192.168.1.X IP range so modem isn't addressed in my network? If I hook directly to Speedstream and change IP to 192.168.1.X will it become visible on local network?
    You cannot access the modem anymore while you have an active PPPoE connection. For PPPoE the E2500 won't need an IP address from the modem thus it doesn't do DHCP on the WAN port and thus it never sees it. When you try to access 192.168.0.* addresses the E2500 will route it through the PPP tunnel to the ISP.
    If you hook your computer directly to the SpeedStream it should automatically pick up a DHCP address (assuming the computer is still running on DHCP and not with a static IP and the SpeedStream does not automatically disable the DHCP server in bridge mode). If you have set up a static IP on the computer you have to change the IP address to a 192.168.0.* address.

  • Need help connecting to the internet via Dial-up?

    Hi! My son and his mini have moved back to Vermont, and where he is only dial-up is available. I thought the hookup would be simple......I haven't a clue. I have been on high spped cable for so long that I need help!!!!! Here is what I tried. Phone cable to the modem. (Can't connect it directly to the mini because it only takes an ethernet cable) USB cable from the modem to the mini. Using the Verizon software we got nowhere because we could not get a connection...Need help, Thanks Bill

    The first bit of info is which Verizon number to use to dial-up, so that it is a local call. Is your son going to call from Essex Jct or somewhere else? Basically we need his area code and first three digits of phone number, if you are comfortable giving that. Otherwise you'll have to call Verizon and ask them for the local number to call.
    Then we have to look up how Verizon wants login info. Perhaps another customer can help here. The conventions vary from one ISP to another. Please don't give us you login here!
    That should be enough to get you connected and surfing. Then we have to configure the mail program. But again a little research or help from another Verizon customer will do the trick.
    Please don't install their software. I've spent countless hours removing ISPs' extra software from friends computers. Such software does not necessarily make things faster and it leaves you with a non-standard system. It's also about getting their hooks into you to push more advertising at you and more revenue their way. (This helps explain why they are so eager for you to use their software BTW.)
    There are techniques to speed up dial-up, but they don't involve extra ISP software and ads. They have to do with keeping the ads away in the first place.

  • Need help connecting to 360 and pc with internet

    thanks in advance

    Hi....
             A network HUB is a network device that is used to connect multiple computer so that they can share the resources. In more general way a hub can be defined as a common connection point for devices in the network.
                There are hubs that can be managed by an administrator. In case of NH1005 it is not a manageable HUB. Connect the devices to the HUB and if the devices are properly configured they will communicate with each other.

  • Need help connecting to the Wii

    My sons just got the Wii and cannot get connected to the internet. Before I started messing with the Airport Admin Utility, it was at least detecting the access point but just not connecting. But now I can't even get it to detect the access point. I know it should work and I know there are other posts on here regarding this same issue, but I need somebody to walk me through it personally. I have already gone to support.nintendo.com and I still can't figure it out. Is there anybody out there willing to help me? PLEASE!

    Were you able to get it hooked up? I have successfully set my Wii to catch a signal from my new Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Make sure the AEBS is set to 802.11N (b/g compatible) and either has the wireless security off or WPA/WPA2 personal as a start.
