Network card config

I cannot get the box running solaris to see any other computer or my internet gateway.
When i try and go to network card config (via preferances), it brings up a wizard type thing, that has nothing to do with network card.
Am i doing something wrong?
Any help would be great. I'm pulling my hair out
Cheers andy

Are you trying to get an IP using dhcp or static IP.
If your trying to use dhcp then make sure your hostname is in /etc/nodename
and do a "touch /etc/dhcp.<int>" where <int> is the name of the driver for your interface.
If your trying to do static then put the IP of the router in /etc/defaultrouter
And your hostname in /etc/hostname.<int>
And make sure you have an entry for your hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes

How to config network card to detect router?

Hi everyone,
I am newbie to solaris, I installed solaris on my old PC, and it has the Netgear FA311 card. It is supported by Solaris according to HCL.
however, it doesn't seem like it is auto-detecting the router.. as result, there is not internet connection.
So, may I ask for your help ?
1.) how do I know my existing network card is detected and installed probably in Solaris? is it auto detect?
2.) how do I manually config to detect my router?
Thanks

2 network cards in Windows 8.1 but can't set the correct one to Private

Hi, I already asked this question in the community forum but was re-directed here as you guys know more about multiple network cards in Windows 8.
I'm using Windows 8.1 with 2 network cards. One for my internal LAN (will call this my secure LAN which has a static IP) and one for connection to the internet (Internet LAN which is DHCP). Both networks are totally physically seperate. This is for a combination
of speed and security purposes (lot of internet traffic on the internet LAN and I want that card locked down to prevent file sharing on it)
By default, both of the cards have their network properties set to public. To date I have not found any way to set the secure LAN card to private and the Internet card to public. If I enable file sharing in the private bit of "advanced settings" and
go to the Metro settings (whatever the fancy name is) under PC Settings/Network/Connections, there is only a generic "network" icon shown (rather than 2 netowrk icons, one for each card). When clicked, this correlates to the network card connected
to the internet. I can make this card public or private by changing the "Find devices and Content" switch on or off but this does not impact the card connected to the secure LAN. I tried disabling the Internet card and re running the setup (which
this time configured the secure LAN card) which I think did allow me to change it to private but as soon as the internet LAN card was re-enabled it reverted to that one being private and my secure LAN to public.
so - The config I am left with is the wrong way round (ie the internet card set to private and my private LAN card set to public!)
Similarly, I tried using regedit. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\ <Profile ID> I can change the REG_DWORD to 1 or 0 but this only impacts the private / public settings of the card connected to the
internet.
I am guessing that Windows is kind of combining these 2 cards into 1 network profile and there is some priority thing going on that it gives priority to the card connected to the internet in terms of config?
Anyone got any ideas on how to force one card to private and the other to public?
Thanks Guys.
Al.

This is caused by the default security policy which blocks file sharing with unidentified networks by making them public. (How it determines unidentified networks is another interesting question). To allow file sharing, you have to change the local
security policy to allow unidentified networks to be private.

How to install a network card on Solaris 10

Hi to all,
I have installed for the first time Solaris 10 on i386 system.
All went fine. Although Solaris did not found the PCI network card, is this normal?
How can I install the (Realtek) network card;
Thank you.
Costas.

Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

[solved] stable network card name eth0 eth1

Hello, I'm new to Arch Linux. I have two Ethernet interface adapters, let's distinguish them by their MAC addresses MAC0 and MAC1. Relationship between MAC addresses and 'eth' unit numbers may change after reboot. Sometimes
MAC0~eth0
MAC1~eth1
sometimes
MAC0~eth1
MAC1~eth0
When they swap, I should change 'rc.conf' settings (IP addresses and such) or keep rebooting until they swap back. I want to name devices in 'rc.conf' by their MAC addresses, is it possible?

Had this issue recently. The best solution is to create a rule in udev which handles the naming task. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev. The general solution didn't solve my problem. The udev rule has been effective so far. I renamed to lan0 and lan1. If you do rename remember to change your configs that refer to the network cards.

Swapping Oracle 7 installation between two network cards

We have an NT server with two network cards for resiliance. We recently tried to swap over to the second card and run Oracle. Oracle started-up ok, but we could not connect to the database from the Aix/PC clients. The tnsnames.ora points to the hostname of the server not a hardcoded address. The hostfile on both clients and server were updated and the server could be pinged. Is there something built into the initialization config, which points to a specific network card? Any help gratefully recieved.

Is the network up? (sudo ifconfig -a). Can you see eth0?
From a terminal session on the server, can you ping localhost, your ip address, gateway?
OL 5.7 boots the Oracle UEK kernel by default. You can also select the original Red Hat Kernel at startup. Does it make any difference?

Duel network card questions

Ok I see loads of new motherboards with this config. Dule network cards or Shotgun Network config. What are the Pros of this? I cant find any info on this. If this is good for network traffic then I will pop my other Network card into my K8N neo Plat. SO anyone have any info on this?

Alex,
I have a son in Brazil in Sao Paulo and one headed further north. Both are Mac Gurus from age ten.
Here is the Apple link that identifies the location of an airport card if you have one:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1305?viewlocale=en_US
If you go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac," then select "more info" you will find information about your hardware. Look under Network/airport card. That will also tell you what is installed without opening the cover to your mac.
Jim~
PS, if you do not have a card, make sure you buy the right one. Early models take one type in one location. Here is a video of the location of the later model.

Issues imaging HP 6445 laptops that have the Marvell Yukon 88e8072 network cards.

We are trying to image those HP 6445 laptops that have the Marvell Yukon 88e8072 network cards in them. They do F12 and get an IP Address.
They get the pending request ID, stating Config Manager is looking for the policy,
Then immediately they get Abort PXE and exiting PXE ROM.
I was able to find that resource ID, which had a completely different computer name than what I was using…I deleted that and tried F12 boot…it came up with a different resource ID, which I went back and deleted, and again, a different resource ID pops
up.
In between each of those I tried the clear pxe requirement and the mac address search. Every time I do the mac address search it comes up to none. Any suggestions?

Parvinder,
Are these laptops UEFI boot mode? Enter the BIOS and set to legacy mode and try again

Network card name switching.

Hello. I have a problem with NICs switching names. I followed Wiki and added 10-network.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d but it seems there is no effect.
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="11:11:11:11:11:11", name="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:11:11:11:11:11", name="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:00:11:11:11:11", name="eth2"
MAC addresses have been hidden but the one in my config are correct.
I have 1 NIC onboard (eth0) and one network card with dual port (eth1,eth2).
Also what is the difference beteen ATTR{address} and ATTRS{address}?
Wiki mentions something about:
With a recent version of udev, this problem should be solved automatically thanks to the /usr/lib/udev/write_net_rules program which runs the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules script which produces a 70-persistent-net.rules.
I can't find any of those files.

New network card

I want to change network cards. Is is possible to change the network card without going through the install process? I would like very much to retain the other contents of the disk. Any suggestions?

I hope you don't mean redo the "whole 3-CD" deal! (I did that twice till I found the right docs).
I read to use "touch /reconfig ; shutdown -g0 -y -i 0" when a new network card is installed. When I boot the file is gone - so I think that is supposed to be, well, less destructive than "sys-unconfig".
There's allways "sys-unconfig ; boot -r" (on my machine booting was automotic!). It doesn't do everything but it will let you re-do the network config screens (it returns mny items to "factory default" state). Better read the manpage first though! It might "factory default" something you've setup!

RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Sean,
I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
IP address.
I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
it is IP1.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
my

on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand

noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used

for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
with
a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
set
the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
to
get
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However, from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the name serviceto
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using Forte
3G2.

Subject: Re: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A name server
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (in some
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the real nameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Folks,
Here is what we would like to do:
We want to have 2 network cards on a unix box - which means I have 2ip
addresses, and the connection between the two is the unix box and onlythe
unix box. I have a pc connected to the 2nd network card and I want it
to
connect to the nameserver that is listening on a well known port onthe
first network card. We don't want to turn IP forwarding between thetwo
cards. We want Forte to address both cards to talk to clients, in one
environment.
Can this be done? If so how?
Thanks in advance.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

can you clarify is you update BIOS too or not?
and what is your current bios version?

and I updated some drivers
what kind of drivers?

have you tried to load last good known configuration or the last windows restore point?
or to reinstall OS?

Help with purchasing correct network card

Hi, I'm trying to set up a wireless network for a friend who has an IBook G3 purchased in December 2002 which I know makes it very old. I have a 802.11g wireless ADSL router successfully set up and the IBook can connect to the internet successfully through a standard network cable to the router.
I would like to connect to the router wirelessly so I would appreciate some guidance on the correct network card to buy for this model
IBook G3 PowerPC Model A1005 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Welcome, Kosh-vorion
first check with the system profiler (Apple->"Abouth this Mac"->"more Info")then "network"->Airport card
whether there is already an airport card build in. if not, you need to buy it and install it; i don't know whether this is easy or not for an iBook to install. There is a manual here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG3_14inchUserGuideMultilingual.PDF
but i'm not sure whether it is exactly your model. (search the Apple supprt pages, if it isn't).
cost of the Airport card is something like 50 $.
If it is already installed, go to "system preferences"-> network and setup.
Post back, if you have more questions.
success,
Thomas

Can I use more than one network cards simultaneously?

I have installed two network cards in my PC, there are two default routes. Can I send the data via two different interfaces simultaneously? thank you very much!

Sorry, but I wonder if there is any java program for me to do so...
sorry again -_-!

How to use two different network cards on RT?

Hi everyone... I'm currently working on a project where I have to deal with the issue mentioned in the thread's topic: I have a PC with RT LabVIEW that has to be able to establish network connections using two different network cards. One will be used to connect via TCP/IP with a host computer that will show the data transmitted through shared variables; the other will communicate with another PC through Modbus protocol. The key is that each communication is done through a separate network card.
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to configure both things to happen. Does anyone know how to do this? Any tips will help.
For the RT communication I'm using a standard RT project, with the RT PC being given one of the IPs, and for the Modbus part, I created an I/O server with a master and a slave. Separately everything works fine, but when I get them together it simply won't work.
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry it took me so long to answer, I've been busy lately....I've found a solution to the problem I mentioned, and just in case anyone has similar problems in the future, I'll shortly describe what happened.
As Caseyw suggested, it was necessary to enable both network cards through the Measurement and Automation Explorer. The cause of the connections malfunction was actually that I wasn't using the "right" protocol for the Modbus communication, which ran on the secondary adapter. The solution was to use the URL protocol with the correct path on the field, addressing the right IP address. To avoid making this post a mixture of topics, I won't elaborate futher, but I got the gist of it, so if anyone is having similar problems whether it is working with several network cards or with Modbus communication protocols, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks
