PPPoE in Solaris 10

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my internet connection..maybe someone here can help me.I use Solaris 10 and i need a PPPoE connection to access the internet.
After i have installed the necesary software for PPPoE
everything seems to be in order: at the "ifconfig -a " command i can see that i have an IP adress asigned by the internet provider.
Anyway,when i try to acces the internet with mozzila or any other application, the connection isn`t working.
Where could be the problem?
Thank u very much!

The problem could lie in a few places here...
Just to rule out the modem... Do you have any other pc's on the network that can access the internet?
Can you post your ifconfig -a please.

How to configure PPPoE in solaris 10

Hi
As I have to configure Internet in one Intel based Solaris box [Solaris 10] can you tell me the steps how to configure it as I have Brodband connection of Iqara.

hi,
did you configure your interface for pppoe? the first step is configuring your interface for ppoe and then you can define a pppoe access server.
please look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/6maoquija?a=view for details.

Cannot connect adsl using rp-pppoe and ppd

Anyone is successful in running pppoe under solaris 8 ?
I tried hard and complied pppd,rp-pppe using gcc at last,
everything is fine until I try to connect using adsl-start, it just "timeout" without success.
I 'm using a realtek chipset based NIC using its beta driver in its web site, the driver seems to be ok as I can ping other machine, the catch is I have to ping those machines first before they can ping my system.
Please comment everyone

Solaris was never intended for home usage. It is an industrial strength UNIX SVR4 operating system. It is probably one of the most scalable operating systems out there and as such Microsoft can't compete there. Granted it may not be the prettiest operating system anybody could use, but that really doesn't matter because it was never designed to be a Wintendo with mailers that graciously accept all kinds of virii and so forth. Solaris has its problems, but what operating system doesn't?
Sun doesn't assume that its users are experts. But then again that is a matter of degree. You're probably a Windows expert in comparison to me. =)
You should install Solaris and play with it. Lots of places use Solaris every day and even if you don't end up working as a system admin with Solaris, you are still learning something new. To me that is very important.
If you can't install it, you obviously can't learn much about it. What types of installation problems are you having? Why don't you post those and I'll promise I'll give it a shot trying to help you out.
It's a free country and you're free to choose any operating system you want. If you want Windows XP, you should use that. Myself, I use various UNICES because I find them to be easier to administer and much more comprehensive. I can give you an example... I work with sendmail a lot and I curse over that LookOut mailer all the time. Not once have I seen it give a decent error message actually telling me what's going on. I end up having to go through logs to figure out what is happening and then fix the problem. It isn't a huge issue, but a major inconvenience. Just about every other mailer out there can give the user an error message that they can relay to their support staff. Right now there are Windows 2000 machines on the network at work. It is virtually impossible to get them to play nice with Solaris. Why? Because Microsoft wants me to use their stuff so they make incompatible. That doesn't impress me at all, so I am actually trying to migrate more clients TO Solaris than from Solaris.
I wish you well with your endeavors to install Solaris and learn a new operating system.

I'm connected but can't get browser, email or even FTP ????

Special thanks for the article "Sun PPPoE on Solaris" by Phil Dibowitz and "Setting Up Solaris OS to Work with Cable Modems" by Muhammad Talha (I have DSL however). Without these 2 articles I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did.
First off I'm running on an AMD CPU with Realtek 8139 PCI plug in card.
Ok here is the problem. It looks like I have connected but I can't get the browser , email or even terminal FTP to work. I think I'm at the gateway but I can't get onto the internet.
Here is how my system looks right after I boot up .
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

ether 0
I'm connected right? But why 2 IP addresses (one for me and one for the gateway?)
Solaris gives me notice during BOOT that it can't configure rtls0: for DHCP but then connects somehow? later on in the auto connect script (script copied from Phils article)
Also Phil recommends running debug to generate the connect-errors file. Here it is ! You can see that I HAVE CONNECTED !

>As I understood, you have modem that is connected to the Internet and computers obtain IP from it. Am I correct?
If yes, and your line is some kind of xDSL (for example ADSL or something like that), probably that your modem is router (that kind of lines, there is no real modem with dial up, it just logs on).
I'm only using a 3COM Home Connect HUB. At one time when we had up to 4 computers on it, we were automatically re-assigned up to 4 different IP addresses each time.
>The problem with DHCP and such router is that your computer will have hostname "unknown", if you want other hostname, give it permanent IP and setup program will let you to specify IP address.
I will need to pay my service provider more for a "static IP address" What you are talking about is a "static IP" . Am I right?
>*How to know what IP you have put in default router? On your Windows computer run "ipconfig" command and see what is IP of Gateway (in Solaris it is called default router).
I got it ! Sorry about that you said try on the Windows computer. Thanks.
On my wifes computer it is 169.254.XX.XX
On mine also 169.254.XX.XX
The XX are not the same.
Thanks for all of your help.

PPPoE Client for Solaris?

Does anyone know if a PPPoE Client is available for Solaris?
Thank you!

I am unable to find any. However a co-worker and I have been talking about trying to use Roaring Penguin's (http://www.roaringpenguin.com ) and running it using LXRun.
I am not entirely confident it will work, however its our best try.

PPPoe Keep-Alive Program for Solaris 8?

Is there a PPPoE Keep-alive program for Solaris 8? I need this because my DSL provider keeps knocking me off and therefore I lose my connection. I would prefer the program be precompiled if there is one available.
-Thanks in advance

It sounds like you are accidentally running NIS. Somewhere, you told your system that "mydomain.net" was your NIS domain. Look to see if you have an /etc/defaultdomain file. Remove it. You don't have NIS, and you probably have the wrong /etc/nsswitch.conf setup then, too.
Try copying /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf (make a backup first).
Verify that you have 'nameserver' entries in /etc/resolv.conf and a 'domain mydomain.net' entry at the very beginning. This is where you let the system know your Internet domain (well, also in the fully-qualified domain name of your machine in your /etc/hosts file).
In your /etc/hosts file, the first name of your machine should be the FQDN, then a short alias, if you are going to use one, and probably "loghost". You might put "loghost" as an alias for "localhost".
Make sure your 'hostname' reflects the FQDN, or mail might not like it. Try setting the hostname with 'uname -S <hostname>' if it isn't correct.
Good luck.

Solaris in Logical Partition and Internet Configuration

Hi !
I'm really passionate about this unix-solaris thing.
But these nudges are pulling me back from installing it actually in my hard drive.
And also there is the Internet configuration problem.
Problem:1
I have 2 IDE HDD.
Primary HDD: 80 GB
VolumeName-Type-Size
SystemBoot-Primary/Active/NTFS-100 MB
Extended Partition:
VISTA-Logical/NTFS-20 GB
2008-Logical/NTFS-10 GB
Data-Logical/NTFS-25 GB
Music-Logical/NTFS-9.42 GB
Solaris-Logical/BLANK-10GB .....Blank = No FS. Used Acronis DD10 for it.
Slave HDD: 40 GB
Extended Partition:
XP-Logical/NTFS-10GB
Fedora9-Logical/ext3-10GB
SWAP-Logical/SWAP-2GB
OpenSUSE103-Logical/ext3-15.25 GB
When I came to HDD configuration stage of installation,
I selected the pre-selected c0d0(bootdisk) ---Primary HDD/80GB.
But when I proceeded further it showed me:
Warning � The initial fdisk information found on the disk
c0d0 was invalid. Defaulting the entire disk to a Solaris partition.
So I aborted the installation.
I tried one more time, by changing the Solaris Blank logical drive to a primary partition.
But it didn't work.
Now I think Solaris 10 cannot be installed in a logical drive or more broadly speaking(assuming) it cannot be installed in HDD having logical drives,it should be all primary partitions.
Please help me on this.
I'm sick of installing it in VMWare.
Problem: 2
How am I supposed to configure my network connection.
I connect to my ISP using WAN Miniport(PPPOE).
It allots me dynamic IP(v4).
I read somewhere DNS should f.root-servers.net and in a magazine, a.solaris.net
I never came across such a thing in even in linux.
Problem: 3
If there is not so �feasible� solution to problem 1, VMWare Workstation comes into play.
And here too, I need help for configuration of network connection.
These are the values that I got when I installed Windows XP in the VMWare.

Solaris 8 config for DSL

I want to reconfigure my standalone SunBlade100 for DSL service. The OS is Solaris 8 10/01, and is currently configured for dial-up access to an ISP.
I've edited the etc/hosts, etc/resolve.conf, and etc/nsswitch.conf files, and I created an etc/defaultrouter file containing the gateway IP address.
Sun PPPD 4.0 is installed, and includes PPPoE.
My question is what else do I need to do in order to complete the configuration?
Are there any good references for Solaris DSL configuration?
Thanks in advance?

Hello,
I supose that its an errata but its /etc/resolv.conf and not /etc/resolve.conf.
Your access internet via a router. I don�t know about DSL but if it�s a standar router you shoudn�t have to configure pppd, just a normal network access with the routing and the naming service properly configured.
If you edit /etc/defaultrouter, the changes will take effect on the next reboot, so maybe you�ll have to add a route manually if you cannot shutdown the machine:
route add default your_router_ip
This way you should ping your router, if the routing is properly configured your dns server too (specifying it�s IP) and finally if the naming service is well configured, any Full Qualyfied Domainame on internet.
Try this and post the results. Bye,
Joseba M. Iturbe

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

Solaris 10 won't allow installing on a second disk (x86 PC)

I added a second hard disk to a generic AMD64 HP PC
with the intention of installing Solaris 10 on it.
When I reach the Add Disk in the partition screen,
Solaris 10 stubbornly lists only the first disk.
Both disks are nearly identical Seagate SATA drives.
I tried tricks such as trying to remap the disks "map (hd0) (hd1)"
(grub from DVD), changing BIOS to set drive #2 as highest-priorty boot
disk.
Is there a way to specify which disk to install on
to "install-solaris" program, or via grub to the Solaris kernel?
Or tell Solaris to switch the disk LUNs?
Swapping the cables on the SATA disks
or repartitioning the first disk isn't an option for me.

My workaround is using REMOVABLE HARD DRIVES. This is what I do before commiting to a new OS. I'll try it first on a removable drive.
To do this properly you will need at least 2 removable drive bay adapters (only $10-$20 each) , one for your current hard drive and another to be inserted with the HD formatted with Solaris. Both drives need to have their jumpers in the MASTER position (as they won't be both boot devices in the system at the same time)
Then format and play with any OS you want on the spare HD. If it works the way you like then you can leave it in.
I have a sytem here which I routinely change from WinXP to Linux on a regular basis. I'm hoping to replace all of my Linux with Solaris stuff, but I'll do that only after I get my DSL running with RP-PPPOE on the Java Desktop. Right now I'm just trying things out.
I hope that this workaround helps you.

In the global zone, you can run something like the following:

PPPoE

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my internet connection..maybe someone here can help me.I use Solaris 10 and i need a PPPoE connection to access the internet.
After i have installed the necesary software for PPPoE
everything seems to be in order: at the "ifconfig -a " command i can see that i have an IP adress asigned by the internet provider
.Anyway,when i try to acces the internet with mozzila or any other application, the connection isn`t working.
Where could be the problem?
Thank u very much!

What do you mean by "connection isn't working"?
What error(s) does mozilla give you?
Do you know if any packets go across the PPPoE connection?
Does DNS work?
Does ping work?

Pppoe internet setup probs via ADSL

Hi I'm using Solaris 9 on X86 system with a NIC 3com 3C509C-TX-M.
I used the direction for pppoe setup from http://home.earthlink.net/~jaymzh666/solaris/spppoe.html
and it all seemed to do as per there instructions.
I'm able to get connected as shown on my file below taken from my terminal window: and showing my Point to Point is UP.

# ping www.sun.com
ping: unknown host www.sun.com
I end up with a dynamic IP of 144.137.194.1 in the particular session.
My problem is where to go to from here when I try to ping to check the connection I get "unknown host" So I'm a little lost. I can see that the connection has been made and my ISP has allocated an IP address. I've tried to use netscape and keeps telling it cant find any url's.
So I'm pretty sure I've missed a step somewhere. Anyone have any ideas of what I need to do to actually be able to surf the net or test the connection.
Thanks Shane

Hi Lee,
Well checked the file and it's there and still can't connect to internet or ping even thought the connection is made and all NIC and PPPOE are up:
# /etc/nsswitch.files:
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it
# does not use any naming service.
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the

netgroup: files

and doing an ifconfig I get this

So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong all connections are up and dynamic IP is allocated. Any ideas on whats wrong ??
