Network Card Configuration

Hi,
Could anybody tell me the command for configuring network card in Solaris 10. I installed Solaris 10 and my network card does not work any more. Thank you
OC.

The commands (logged in as root) are:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
(Add the network card to the system if it has not been added to the system yet.)
ifconfig network_card_name ip_addr up
(Start the network card)
The configuration gets lost after re-booting the system.
To permanently add a network card to the system create the file
/etc/hostname.network_card_name
for example:
/etc/hostname.hme0
This file contains just one line. This line is a host name from /etc/hosts that corresponds to the IP address of the card.
The use of DHCP is a bit more complex:
Use DHCP once:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
ifconfig network_card_name dhcp up
Use DHCP after re-boot:
Create /etc/hostname.network_card_name
Create /etc/dhcp.network_card_name
Leave both files empty.

Two network cards configuration

Hi
I have problem with my network - I have two network cards and it seems they can't live both but I need them both so:
1st card (rtl8139) is connected to cable modem and gets ip by DHCP (eth0="dhcp" in rc.conf)
2nd card (nv forcedeth) is connected to router and gets ip by DHCP too (eth1="dhcp")
When I start them both -> 1st and 2nd card gets good IP by DHCP but when I want to ping google.com for example packet is lost.
What I want ? I want to use my eth0 (1st card) for internet and my 2nd card for local network.
##EDIT##
My resolv.conf is 192.168.1.1 but I need DNS from 1st interface -> how to do this?

Messy setup IMO, but anyway....
Your faulty resolv.conf is the reason you can't ping google. Edit it manually as required, and then use the -R flag in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to prevent it being overwritten. DHCP on both interfaces will probably cause routing issues as well, in which case you will need the -G flag.

How to configure Netgear FA510C Network Card

I installed Solaris 8 (Intel) on my laptop(Compaq Presario
1275) and have NetGear FA510C network card to be
configured. When I installed Solaris, it didn't recognize
the network card, and I have no idea how to configure
this network card. Does any have any idea how to
install and configure this network card?
I'll appreciate your help.

Try to use devfsadm -v to find the device
Then use ifconfig dnet0 (not positive this is the right syntax for SMC) to plumb the device.
Then use ifconfig dnet0 192.168.50.4 up
You may have to modify these files to get the IP to come up on startup and properly resolve:
/etc/hostname.dnet0
/etc/netmasks
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/nodename

?? configure network-cards under Sol. 8 ?? please heeellpplp

Hi,
I'm a stand alone Solaris's user (at home). Since about 2 months I've installed Solaris 8 on my PC, and wont be able to configure my Internet-Connection and my privat Home-Network.
I'd already read about 500 different publication's pages, but wont be able to go any further. My main PC contain Solaris 8 and has two RTL-Network-Cards. One for the Internet Connection(LAN), and the other (interne hub) for my small privat network at home. I've read there should be two files named: /etc/hostname.XXX0, XXX1. But there arent such files to see by me. The only file I have is "/dev/hostname.". I've tried to create them and lunch some commands I've seen in some manual's page.
Result ===> some error messages by the boot sequence.
Please can anyone help? Without having these cards working, I can't have any Internet connection.
The OS (Solaris) is already working on my PC, and I love it. But the only problem is how to set up these damned hardware, Network-Cards, Sound-Card and. I don't really know how to start with.
Please help!! Dont want to give up and I will not! Please help me to enjoy that hard work.
Thanks for helping.
PS: I'm connected to the internet trought Network (LAN), i.e I'm using a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet network-card, and the interne Hub is also a RTL 8029 PCI Ethernet card.

yes. you got it .... eg..
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.le1
in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
# hostname <cr>
should give your hostname.
now, in the hosts file: eg:
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
<your ip address> <your hostname> loghost
129.156.89.252 host2
you need to reboot after this.
if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
also, see:
# man hosts
# man ifconfig

I have two network cards in the Solaris server and
Oracle 11g2 EE database server.
One network card is used for connection to the application (data network). Connection though standard port 1521.Database configured using server name defined for Net1 card and I can connect to the Oracle database using net1 card from apps server.
Second card is the management card (connected to the management network).

Configure multiple network card with netcfg

Hello Archers! I am a happy new user of Arch Linux . I wanna say that your community is really great, thanks to all the people giving help out there.
My question is:
I must configure two eth interfaces, I have the both configured but sometimes I need to change configuration for connecting to other network that needs only one network card with other IP. I would like to select the configuration trough the "NET_PROFILES=menu" line in /etc/rc.conf or with the "netcfg" command but I don't know how to configure TWO interfaces in ONE profile of the /etc/network-profiles/* files?
Both networks have Static IP.
I search on the forums and do not find anything useful. I'm sorry if is there something in other post that I doesn't read.

TuxLyn,
this netcfg profile works OK for me for a long time now:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2)"
INTERFACE=eth1
#HOSTNAME="archabit64"

Of course, yours is more circunvoluted, but perhaps it helps.
ip addr outputs:

Configure network card on laptop

I've installed solaris 9 on a NEC versa lx laptop and during installation in does not see the 10/100Mbps 16-bit PCMCIA Ethernet PC Card network card. Can someone help me with this problem?

You need to check the x86 hardware compatibility list to see if that laptop and the interface in it are supported.

Network Card XP Driver Configuration

I've installed winxp home in Imac 17'', but it doesn't detect the network card.
How can I install the correct drivers? Does anyone know what is the card's label so I can download the drivers.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.

Cannot configure External Network card

I cannot connect externel Network card to the system.OS cannot see the newly installed networkcard. My OS is SOlaris 10 x86 5/08. i tried different types of Network card Realtek,Datalink. Network Card number is D-Linkk DL10038C .Couldnt find any driver for this Network card that support for Solaris.
Can any one help me please....

Probably as stupid question but is there a way to export the driver from OpenSolaris to Solaris 10 as OpenSolaris supports the NIC?
By the way, I don't know if it matters but the info for my NIC on Solaris 10 appears both in */boot/solaris/devicedb/master* and */etc/driver_aliases*. It's just that the system doesn't detect it, when I run ifconfig -a it only lists the loopback interface.

Configure 2 network Card in Sun ULTRA 1

Hi,
Can I put 2 network card in a Sun Ultra 1
One Card it's for connected in my Network Sun in 192.9.XXX.XXX
and the second it's for my Network PC in 192.168.XXX.XXX
I want see this machine in the 2 network
Best regards.

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.

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?

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

How to web filtering via two network cards?

I have Installed Server 2008 and two network cards
on my pc. One LAN card for clients access and one for internet router. I need to share internet connection to my client computers with
web filtering. So how to do that? I need to block some sites to client access.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the WS 2008 to share Internet connection and provide web filtering function for internal clients.
Internal clients –(NIC1) WS 2008(NIC2) – Internet router – Internet network
Manually assign IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc. on NIC2. Manually assign IP address, DNS server, etc. on NIC1.
Install Network Policy and Access Services – Routing and Remote Access Services. Detailed steps reference:
Install and Enable the Routing and Remote Access Service
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770798(v=ws.10).aspx
Then open Routing and Remote Access and start configuration. Enable NAT on NIC2 to transfer IP address. Detailed steps reference:
Enable and Configure NAT
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469812.aspx
Windows Server itself does not support web-based filter, third-party tools with application-layer firewall might be needed to realize this function. Configure WS as a router, it supports IP packet filtering, which specifies which type of traffic is allowed
into and out of the router. Reference：
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732746(v=ws.10).aspx
