Need help - setup network in solaris

Hello! Today I install Solaris 10 for learning in my laptop and have some trouble. Please help me
1. Set up network interface for wi-fi card iwi0
(a. ifconfig iwi0 plumb
b. wificonfig iwi0 connect airJet
c. ifconfig iwi0 dhcp)
2. Set up default route (route add default 192.168.100.2 (its my access point with dhcp server))
Ping -s 192.168.100.2 -> done
But when I trying in Firefox open any url - recieve error "host not found"
okay. in terminal i put
ping google.com
and recieve answer
host not found
What is my problem?
Thanks for u answers.

Try changing hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to:
hosts dns files
so that hostnames will be resolved via your dns servers. You also need to enter dns server info in /etc/resolv.conf.
Here's a tutorial: [Configuring Networking|http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml ] (kind of dated, but most of the info is still relevant)

Need help with networking external hard drive

Hi,
I am working on a corporate network and I have a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition external hard drive attached to a Mac OSX 10.4. i have other Macs connecting through the network to this Mac and accessing the external hard drive and it works just fine for that.
What I need help with is the fact that I also have several PCs on the same network (all XP), that need to connect to the hard drive and access the files. I've been able to connect to the Mac using the XP by accessing the IP address. I also set the Mac up with password credentials so that I had to log in to the Mac to access the files. But when I try to access the Mac, it only shows the main computer drive as the only available share and no external drive.
Does anyone know how to access a Western Digital external drive on a Mac from a PC through a network?

For an external hard disk drive or other (different) system shared
storage devices to work, they probably should be formatted in a
format seen by both operating systems.
If the WD unit is not seen by Windows computers on your network,
the WD may have been formatted in HFS+ for the Macintosh. That
is OK unless you need a Windows computer to access the same.
The Macintosh can see and use a standard Windows disc format;
so the external drive may need to be reformatted away from HFS+
if that is really what is going on (and archive any data on the suspect
drive elsewhere, since it will be lost to reformatting overwrites)
and then both Mac OS X and Windows should see the files on there.
And Macs set up to run Windows may also see the non-Mac format;
without having to re-boot via BootCamp, if that option is in use.
As to the other question(s) I really have no idea at this point in time.
And since that may be the rub, hopefully someone will follow up here.
Good luck & happy computing!

Need help building boost_1_37_0 on Solaris 10 U6 with Sun Studio 12

Hi,
Ok, please bear with me here. I've tried many different sets of instructions, and haven't had success with any of them (including the ones at http://blogs.sun.com/sga/category/Boost).
Operating System: Solaris 10 x86 U6
Compiler: Sun Studio 12 (SUNCC version 5.9)
Boost version: 1.37.0
The ONLY part of boost that I need is regex. I've never built external libraries before and building boost on Solaris seems a rather daunting task. So, could someone please explain, as clearly as possible, how do I build the boost::regex library using SUNCC?
I know this is a very broad topic, but since I haven't had any luck with any existing instructions that google turns up, alas I am here.
Thanks in advance if someone can help me,
~Slow
Note: I don't need any special options, any special, non-standard install paths, nothing. Just a straight, stock, boost install.
Edited by: SlowToady on Nov 10, 2008 2:18 PM

First, be sure you have the current patches for Sun Studio 12. You can get them here:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/
Please install the current C++ compiler patch, the C compiler patch, and the common back-end compiler patch.
You should then be able to build BOOST 1.37.0. The only problem I know of has been filed as CR 6767881, which results in an incorrect complaint about a constructor not being accessible. But I don't think that one affects regex.
If you running into some other problem after patching the compiler, please post enough detail that we can investigate it.
Questions about how to build just a portion of BOOST are probably best addressed to a BOOST forum.

Need help with network

hi, i am trying to leave ubuntu, so i installed Arch Linux. it seems everything went allright on the CD installation, but i am having trouble with the network. i have a dell XPS M1330 with the intel 4965 card, and i believe that the card is recognized by the system.
i can scan for networks, and i can even connect to my network, and when i run "iwconfig" i can see all my network details, including the password, and th signal strenth, noise, etc.
so, everything indicates that i am succesfully connected to my network. but everytime i try a ping it fails misserably, with a host unknown. i've tried google, yahoo, msn... but it doesnt matter. they always fail.
can anybody help me?
btw, i've checked that hostname is the same on rc.conf and hosts

EDIT AFTER LAST TRY!!!!!
first of all, i have to say that even though the module is listed on rc.conf, everytime i start the computer i need to do a modprove iwl4965 for the network card to start working, then i have to do "ifconfig wlan0 up" and then is allright.
ok, tonight is the night!!!! lets get going
sputter wrote:But as a thought just to try and get your juices working, what happens if you enable the gateway in your rc.conf?
how do i do that? right now my rc.conf looks like this

i'll try on a few minutes,

After doing the manual addressing using ifconfig or the manual configuration in rc.conf, can you show us the output of "route"? Just type "route" and hit enter.
The broadcast flag is likely unneeded as a 255.255.255.0 netmask implies a 192.168.0.255 broadcast address. However, it's definitely worth a shot! I just wonder if, for some really really strange reason your router isn't using a 255.255.255.0 netmask. Can you try giving yourself a lower IP address? Try 192.168.0.2 this will guarantee that you are in the same subnet as your router.
Try this!
according to my wife's computer and my mint install, our netmask is really 255.255.255.0
i will try those suggestions tonight and post the outcome here, but to begin, this is "route" on my mint install

Need help - The network adapter could not establish connection

hi, I installed sql developer on my standalone PC. I am unable to create a connection. The following error is shown when try connecting:

Should i set some Environment variable? Is there anything else i need to download/install?

You need to ask your network admin folk to check your PC and ensure that it is correctly configured for IP networking for your network - valid IP address, valid IP subnet mask, etc.
You can look at your existing IP configuration in Windows by opening a command console and typing the command "+ipconfig+".
Once that is done, you need to test connectivity between your PC and the database server. You need the IP address of the server for that and use the "+ping+" command to see if you get a ping echo response from the server.
If you configure your Oracle client software (e.g. +%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora+ ) to use a hostname and not IP address, you need to make sure that your PC's IP stack can resolve that hostname into an IP address. Once again the "+ping+" command can be used, but this time using the hostname instead. The output will show the IP address the hostname resolved to.
All these are basic networking issues - and have nothing really to do with Oracle itself. You first need to get the networking to work on your PC, before attempting to use Oracle client-server.

Need help creating network of 1 Airport Extreme & 2 Airport Expresses!

Please somebody help me! I've literally been trying to get our home network to function for months now. I'm seriously about to cry if i can't make it work.
Here's the situation:
Our apartment is long and narrow and probably has lead paint, so our wifi, powered by a brand new Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n router (named Igor) connected to a comcast modem doesn't reach the whole house. So we got 2 Airport Expresses to place throughout the apartment (named Sven and Svetlana) to help boost the signal.
First i tried to set up Igor to 'Create a wireless network" with the option 'allow this network to be extended' and the connection sharing set to 'Share a public IP' and i set up Sven and Svetlana to 'extend a wireless network' and the connection sharing was set to 'share a public IP'. Everything else was automatic or default pretty much. I got it to work but the connection was really weak and dropped out a lot.
Then i tried setting up a WDS network. no luck there either. so i went to the apple store and they told me i had to hard wire them all together using ethernet cables (roaming network i guess) to compensate for the ****** network acoustics in our place.
So...i ran 1 ethernet cable from Igor down the hall to Svetlana and another from Igor further down the hall to Sven. I set up all 3 to 'create a wireless network' and gave them all the same network name and password. i left the 'allow this network to be extended' option unchecked on all 3 and put them all in bridge mode and automatic settings for the radio mode and channel selection. After about 50 restarts i finally got it to work. Things seemed great for a minute until i realized that my laptop was the only one in the house that could connect to the internet. When i tried to troubleshoot the problem using network diagnostics and restarts, i eventually got my roommate's laptop to work but then mine stopped working.
i've tried changing Igor's connection setting to share a public IP address and leaving Sven and Svetlana's in bridge mode. I've tried changing the 'configure IPv4' setting from 'using DHCP' to 'manual' and entering in identical info for all 3 in the TCP/IP section.
no matter what i do i still have no idea how to make this work for multiple devices in our apartment. I really don't understand that much about networking but i am great at following directions. Please please please please help me! I'm desperate.
thank you in advance for your help!

In a "roaming" network, the router connected to the Internet modem should NOT be in bridge mode. In this case that would be your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). That is because you want it to provide both NAT & DHCP services to both AirPort Express Base Stations and the network clients.

Need help with Network Mapping

I have a WRT350N and have upgraded the firmware to 1.03.7. I have it setup and reliable, and am now trying to hook up a Lacie 500G hard drive to the usb connection. I have created a share and now am trying to get Vista to see it. When I map a network drive, no option for the router shows up. Under Network it just shows my computer, shared files and printers. When I click on the router under Network it times out and says the connection is busy connecting and disconnecting. Are there some settings I don't know about? I have enabled everything under the sharing tab in the Linksys menu Thanks.

try accessing the drive using start >> run >> \\router'sipadd .. if you see the drive , right click on it and click map network drive..check whether it makes any difference

Need Help!!! Solaris 8 on SPARC

Hello
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on ULTRA1 170.
I cut all 3 CD's without any problem. Booting from the Install CD with "BOOT CDROM" command. It goes through the CD, reboots the machine and asks for the Software CD1.
I put in CD1 click OK and it start to initialize the install. It goes about quarter of the bar and the bar disappears. I'm at the KIOSK screen and nothing happens (no cd activity). I waited a long-long time here.
Solaris 7 was running fine on this system and I even reinstalled it just to make sure it is not hardware related. Downloaded and burnt software cd1 twice. No difference.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!!! I�m going crazy. If you don't understand my exact problem just ask.
TIA chris

Fixed it
I had to boot from Software CD1 and I used jump start installer. Insted of web start what apparently did not work for me.

I need help is takeing a solaris 9 soc drive to work in solaris 10

I need to get a Sparc Storage Array to run under solaris 10. The soc driver that is needed is not supportted under solairs 10. I took the packages needed off of solaris 9 cds and installed them but no luck. I tried to to do a modload and modinfo but it was not there.
The package loaded a file into /kernel/drv/sparcv9/soc. I have solaris 9 onanother disk on the same system and looked at the system trying to copy and edit the files on 10 but not device paths show up in the system. I copyied a file called soc that was in /kernel/drv/ I edited the /etc/device_aliases and path_to_inst but no good.
There are no entries in the /devices/ dir that reference the soc path. I do not if than can work but really would like to get this working.

Need Help Launching Network Documents from Forms 6i

I am trying to launch a network document from Forms 6i running in Oracle Applications 11.5.10.
I have a column in on a form that shows document locations and I am having the user double click on the column in order to lauch the document. I am using the FND_UTILITIES.OPEN_URL package. This works great for web sites but not for internal network documents.
Examples.
Works Fine:

Does Not Work
FND_UTILITIES.OPEN_URL ('\\netwin\ERP\Documents\Setups.doc',_blank)
Now if I open an Internet Explorer window and paste the not working address into it it does pull up the document so I know the address is valid.

Need Help - WiFi network issue

Hey, just wondering if anyone could help me out here. My problem is that when I go to the WiFi setting page my 'network list' costantly refreshes every 5 seconds or so. I can access my network normally, but upon doing so my network bar shows a check mark that it's connected and then...bang, all the networks disappear (including mine) and I lose my connection.
I've read through a lot of the comments and issues on this board but haven't seen anyone experiencing the exact same problems as mine.
Another interesting thing is I just tried out my Nintendo DS WiFi connection and had no problem connecting w/ it. If it helps I'm running Windows XP, my router is a Linksys ___GS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Oh ya and I've tried restoring my iPod and my newtwork shows full bars connection, so....
Message was edited by: Eagle_23

The first thing I would do is try a reset of the network settings on your IPT, just go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. (that's assuming you have the latest 1.1.3 firmware and the software upgrade installed)
If that doesn't work then you may have to get a bit more drastic and check the Linksys site and see if there are any firmware updates. If there are update your router and then reset it and give the IPT another try and see if it will connect.
I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL with WAP2 security and I've had no problems connecting.

Need help for networking

Hi,
I want to know where can i get help (functions or interfaces) to interact with IP layer in solaris such as (registering a protocol or sending or receiving messages to/from ip etc).
thankx & Regards,
Prasenjit

Well the D-Link is there to provide the wireless signal to the houses 2 laptops
so yes as an access point but not for a better signal more for a continued wireless leg.
(if that makes any sense)
The MacPro does not have Airport capabilities so it is hardwired into the the roof antenna/router...
if possible I would like to first go into my MacPro
then have the MacPro share the signal with the D-Link.
any ideas on how to configure the "sharing" in the Sys. prefs
to do this
and also
any thoughts on how to make the D-Link just an access point without it giving an IP?
thanks for your response

Need Help Adding Network Printer

I am trying to add a network printer on a Solaris (Sun OS 5.6) system. I am doing this using lpadmin as outlined in volume 2 of the system admin guide.
The printer appears on the system, but when I try sending a print job, I get the message 'Segmentation error - core dumped' and nothing prints on the printer.
I have added the printer to the etc/hosts and can ping it o.k.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is info missing from your post that I like to have when considering these issues, so here is what I'm assuming:
You used the command:
lpadmin -p printername -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=printerhostname -I contentype -T printertype
(note: I like -m netstandard instead of
-i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard because I'm lazy! they mean and do the same.)
You have the latest version of patch 106235 for lp, which I believe is -09
This is perhaps not the first printer or first attempt at adding a printer on this host.
Possibly this machine was upgraded from a previous version of Solaris?
If you can find the core file (it may be where you issue the lp command or in the /var/spool/lp/tmp directory), you can use the adb command to at least extract the name of the binary that is coring:
adb core
This could be several things that could require anything from a spool clean to an remove and reinstall of the print packages. Any more details you can provide? Perhaps the output of lpstat -p printername -l? Does this happen with any printer you create?
