Probably a simple networking question (newbie here)

Hi everyone,
When I installed Solaris 10 inside of a VMWare Workstation vm, I got to the portion of the network configuration where it asked about LDAP or DNS or NFS, and I chose "None" because my setup is not a member of a domain. Now, when I go online, I have no Internet connection.
I have the interface listed in ifconfig -a and it has an IP address of 192.168.0.4 issued by DHCP. Everything is right, except there is no Default Gateway listed, nor does it have my DNS servers listed.
How would I go about setting these in Solaris? I'm not entirely familiar with vi or edit, so a step-by-step will be nice.
I should note, that I'm able to access my Windows Workgroup computer (the physical host) and copy files from it. I just don't have any Internet access. Also, the IP for my physical computer (the Windows share) is my DNS IP, although that shouldn't matter.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Patrick.

First of all, in /etc/hosts file ;
the first line indicates loopback address(IP) & the second line indicates the IP of the your machine followed by the hostname ( which is "unknown in your case as you have not assigned any hostname). The commented line in second line tells that , the IP is assigned by a dhcp-server.
you can assign router IP in a file called "/etc/defaultrouter".you only have to give the IP address of the router in this file.To make this as default router address for you system , you have reboot the system.
You can change your hostname from "unknown" by issuing this command :
#setuname -n XYZ
(where XYZ is the new hostname)
you can also check the changed hostname by doing this ;
#uname -n

  • Probably a simple SQL Query - Newbie

    I want to select entries from a table that has 2 columns where the first column value is contained within the 2 column....Does that make sense?
    The first is a varchar that contains a value for a customer. The second is a varchar that contains a a textual description of a problem the customer has. My problem is that I only want to select the entries in the table where the second column contains a description that includes the first column value.
    eg. I want to select rows that have the following condition:
    column1 has value of "customer1"
    column2 has a value of "an error was reported by customer1 on service blah"
    but not these
    column1 has value of "customer1"
    column2 has a value of "an error was reported by customer2 on service blah"
    This is probably a simple question but I've spent time looking at how to do it and can't seem to manage...any help would be appreciated....Thanks

    Hi Barbara,
    I've never used the CONTAINS operator before. I compared the use in this situation to the other methods and found the others to be FAR less resource intensive, despite working on unindexed columns, as I demonstrate below.
    It would seem that CONTAINS is unsuited to this type of simple query. Can you shed any light on this, from the perspective of somebody who has used it before? Is this type of performance penalty normal? If so, it could seem that CONTAINS is fairly useless next to LIKE.

  • Simple JSP question (newbie)

    Hi all,
    firstly I hope this is the right place to post this question, if not, please accept my apologies,
    I am putting together my first set of JSP pages with Tomcat, and so far everything is going very well, but I am having one small problem.
    I have 1 JSP page at the moment, and that in turn uses 1 JavaBean thing bit of code to do something.
    The problem I am having is passing an integer variable from my JSP page to my JavaBean page, I can't seem to find the right syntax for it. The following code (from the JSP page) will make this ten times clearer...
    <%! int score; %>
    <%! String scoreAsString; %>
    <%
    scoreAsString = request.getParameter("score");
    score = Integer.valueOf(scoreAsString).intValue();
    out.println("Your score of " +score +"was received, thanks very much!");
    %>
    <jsp:useBean id="converter" class="scoreApp.SaveScoreBean"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="converter" property="scoreToSave" value="${score}" /> As you might see, the problem comes in that last line of code - I want to pass the "score" integer I've received off to the bean, but I don't know the syntax for this. I've tried "value=score", "value="score"", "value="$score"", "value="${score}"" etc. but to no avail.
    You can see this is a super-simple problem :)
    ... but my if it isn't becoming frustrating :)
    Any help at all will be most welcome, and gratefully received.
    Many thanks,
    Peter

  • Very simple network question

    Forgive my stupidity asking this question...
    I have an iBook G4 and two Windows PCs (one W2K, one XP) all happily sharing a wi-fi network using Airport Express.
    I am about to dash out to the shops to buy a USB printer so that we can all print wirelessly, using iFelix's fab website for guidance. My incredibly dumb question is this: do I need to establish any kind of network before embarking on the printer-sharing project, or, by the very fact that we are all sharing a wi-fi network, are we already three "networked" computers??
    I don't want to share any files between the computers, just a printer. Is there anything I need to do beforehand to create a network, or are we already one??
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Window XP, Windows 2000, AirPort Express

    Sanhodo: there are reports of problems with windows sharing a printer to a wireless iBook. You should read iFelix guide to wireless printing (run a google search), it will shed some light on the subject.
    JFYI, the setup of Claudine is completely different from yours, since she will connect the printer to THE ROUTER, not to a computer --which is your case-- and therefore she will avoid the problems of windows printer sharing...

  • Simple networking question

    I need help logging into my ethernet hub wired G4 Tower from a wireless Powerbook. Here is the setup - Cable modem goes into wireless router --> pushes internet signal throught the house for a Dell notebook and my Powerbook --> ethernet goes out of wireless router to a 4 port hub that powers a printer and my G4 Tower. I would like to access files on the hardwired Tower remotely from my Powerbook. Can this be set up in file sharing or what type of configuration is necessary to make this work? Also... I have a printer downstairs (I would like to print to from all 3 CPU's) what's needed to make this happen.

    I would like to access files on the hardwired Tower remotely from my Powerbook. Can this be set up in file sharing...
    Yes, open the Sharing preference pane on the Tower and enable Personal File Sharing.

  • Network Questions on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster

    I am going through the setup and configuration of a clustered Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host. 
    I’ve followed as much documentation as I can find, and the Cluster Validation is passing with flying colors, but I have three questions about the networking setup.
    Here’s an overview as well as a diagram of our configuration:
    We are running two Server 2012 R2 nodes on a Dell VRTX Blade Chassis. 
    We have 4-dual port 10 GBe Intel NICS installed in the VRTX Chassis. 
    We have two Netgear 12-Port 10 GBe switches, both uplinked to our network backbone switch.
    Here’s what I’ve done on each 2012 R2 node:
    -Created a NIC team using two 10GBe ports from separate physical cards in the blade chassis.
    -Created a Virtual Switch using this team called “Cluster Switch” with “ManagementOS” specified.
    -Created 3 virtual Nics that connect to this “Cluster Switch”: 
    Mangement (10.1.10.x), Cluster (172.16.1.x), Live Migration (172.16.2.x)
    -Set up VLAN ID 200 on the Cluster NIC using Powershell.
    -Set Bandwidth Weight on each of the 3 NICS.  Mangement has 5, Cluster has 40, Live Migration has 20.
    -Set a Default Minimum Bandwidth for the switch at 35 (for the VM traffic.)
    -Created two virtual switches for iSCSI both with 
    “-AllowManagementOS $false” specified.
    -Each of these switches is using a 10GBe port from separate physical cards in the blade chassis.
    -Created a virtual NIC for each of the virtual switches: 
    ISCSI1 (172.16.3.x) and ISCSI2 (172.16.4.x)
    Here’s what I’ve done on the Netgear 10GB switches:
    -Created a LAG using two ports on each switch to connect them together.
    -Currently, I have no traffic going across the LAG as I’m not sure how I should configure it.
    -Spread out the network connections over each Netgear switch so traffic from the virtual switch “Cluster Switch” on each node is connected to both Netgear 10 GB switches.
    -Connected each virtual iSCSI switch from each node to its own port on each Netgear switch.
    First Question:  As I mentioned, the cluster validation wizard thinks everything is great. 
    But what about the traffic the Host and Guest VMs use to communicate with the rest of the corporate network? 
    That traffic is on the same subnet as the Management NIC. 
    Should the Management traffic be on that same corporate subnet, or should it be on its own subnet? 
    If Management is on its own subnet, then how do I manage the cluster from the corporate network? 
    I feel like I’m missing something simple here.
    Second Question:  Do I even need to implement VLANS in this configuration? 
    Since everything is on its own subnet, I don’t see the need.
    Third Question:  I’m confused how the LAG will work between the two 10 Gbe switches when both have separate uplinks to the backbone switch. 
    I see diagrams that show this setup, but I’m not sure how to achieve it without causing a loop.
    Thanks!

    "First Question:  As I mentioned, the cluster validation wizard thinks everything is great.

    If Management is on its own subnet, then how do I manage the cluster from the corporate network? 
    I feel like I’m missing something simple here."
    This is an operational question, not a technical question.  You can have all VM and management traffic on the same network if you want.  If you want to isolate the two, you can do that, too.  Generally, recommended
    practice is to create separate networks for host management and VM access, but it is not a strict requirement.
    "Second Question:  Do I even need to implement VLANS in this configuration? 
    Since everything is on its own subnet, I don’t see the need."
    No, you don't need VLANs if separation by IP subnet is sufficient.  VLANs provide a level of security against snooping that simple subnet isolation provides.  Again, up to you as to how you want to configure things. 
    I've done it both ways, and it works both ways.
    "Third Question:  I’m confused how the LAG will work between the two 10 Gbe switches when both have separate uplinks to the backbone switch. 
    I see diagrams that show this setup, but I’m not sure how to achieve it without causing a loop."
    This is pretty much outside the bounds of a clustering question.  You might want to take network configuration questions to a networking forum.  Or, you may want to talk with Netgear specialist.  Different networking
    vendors can accomplish this in different ways.

  • Simple network: Windows 7 file server & several Macs and Linux machines- SAMBA bombing out?

    Hi guys, i know this is really more of a windows support question, but here goes:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit acting as a file server, turned off all the usual MS authentication stuff so Macs and Linux systems connect with password without issues..
    except when i start copying certain files/file types/names to the system, it will break the network connection, then refuse any more connections, all macs and linux machines on the network are booted, from the PC however i can still access the Macs shares volumes.. (the macs still see the windows machine & pinging is still there, but if i try to connect i get 'check the name/ip address' error
    im no expert, but its as if the Samba service on the windows machine gets killed and im not sure what to do to get it to re-connect other then restarting the system, but as the system is also a terminal server users always have apps/documents open and its 'never a good time' to do it..
    if there was an alternate Samba to install, or a buffer patch, or even a 'goto this service, stop and restart' etc.
    Trying to get help from the 'windows' community comes down to 'well your on a mac what do expect etc etc' *sigh*
    any help is appreciated
    Richard

    Hi, just thought id update my finding regarding this, and it maybe directly affected by my only system, but in case anyone else has this issue?
    I thought it may be due to the file name thats causing the lockups, but I found while trying to backup my collection of install images and updates that sure enough a simple named file 'osx10.6.3.DMG' going to the server, 850MB in it stalls and fails, now im not able to connect.
    but form the PC, without changing the name or location etc, i copied the SAME from the Macs hard drive through to the windows system, all 5.7GB.
    so it is something to do with my windows 7 system, but maybe more related to the size of the file then the name or non-standard characters as first thought.
    as suggested by Grant above i will check on the server boards as well.
    thanks

  • Hey Everyone...  I have a networking Question...

    Ok well its more then just one networking question...
    I'm working on a game engine (2d) and for the time being it just has two blocks in a 600 by 480 area, both controled by user input on a single comp. I would like to change this so that i can have the blocks be controled by sepeart computers. I know this is possible I just dont know how, any help would be great.
    My experience with Java is some what limited i've only been programing for the past 6 months and i've never messed with any network code before.
    Any and all help would be great
    Thanks
    Mike

    Boy, that other poster was really helpful, yes? :-P
    What you probably want to do is open a "socket" between one computer and the other. (TCP is probably the easiest/best for your application, as opposed to UDP). This is actually pretty simple, and basically consists of:
    (this client/server arrangement is the easiest. Peer-to-peer would work too, but is generally more complex.)
    1. Computer A decides to become the server and opens a java.net.ServerSocket on port 1234.
    2. Computer B opens a java.net.Socket to computer A's port 1234.
    3. Computer A accepts the connection and gets a java.net.Socket from the ServerSocket.
    4. Now anything computer A writes to the Socket is recieved by computer B, and vice-versa. This is a TCP connection and is stream-based, so it should be familiar if you've done any Java I/O before; in face, you can use java.io.Reader's and Writers, and so on with your Socket.
    See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/ for a good introduction to sockets.

  • OSX Server and Mac Mini and Simple Network functionality

    Hi not sure if this is the best place for this question but here goes.
    I am relatively new to Mac after a life lost to the PC/Microsoft world. Anyway I have a small home network and store all my documents on a network attached hard drive (Buffalo Terastation).
    I travel a lot and want external access to my files and email via the internet. I was going to set up a PC Server with MS Small office and Exchange to facilitate this but then started to think that an Apple solution would be better. I don't want to spend a fortune as it is basically just me, and maybe another user or two, that would use the server.
    I started to think that Mac OSX Server running on a 2GHz Mac Mini with 120/160gb drive and 2 gig Ram. If the mini would run OK then this would be ideal due to low noise, footprint, consumption, etc and pretty cheap as well.
    I run a iMAC 24 and 2 macbook laptops all running Leopard.
    Would this be a practical and workable solution to my needs ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Simon

    Would the "Back to my Mac" service with .Mac not work for you? You wouldn't necessarily need a server then...
    File sharing on the workstation is good as Dave says so you don't need to go whole hog for the Server platform.
    But if you wanted to go for Leopard Server, you'd be able to do a **** sight more than you could with Exchange - I wrestle with it every day at work but am happy to come back home to a Mac world!

  • Simple performance question

    Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
    I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
    When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
    When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
    Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
    private void process(){
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
             if (add)
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  += constant;
             else
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  -= constant;
    private void process(){
      if (add)
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  += constant;
    else
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
           matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  -= constant;
    }Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

    erjoalgo wrote:
    I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
    matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
    but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

  • [multithread] newbie here ... is inputStream shared?

    Hi, a newbie here. I've been playing with java for six month now and it's been pretty fun. Looking forward to learn more about java from this forum. Now I have a question about this little project I've been doing.
    I'm currently developing a multi-threaded client-server application (both client and server are multi-threaded). The idea is very easy which is to create threads that send http request to one server which will send back XML to the
    corresponding thread.
    I've managed to make it work. My application can now make http request and get the XML it's looking for. However, problem occurs when I try this scenario:
    1. Client Thread 1 http request> server -> creates server thread 1
    I made Server Thread 1 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 1 has to wait for the response.
    Then, while Server Thread 1 is still on sleep, I make another http request:
    2. Client Thread 2 http request> server -> creates server thread 2
    I again Server Thread 2 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 2 has to wait for the response.
    Now, Server Thread 1 wakes up and returns the XML response message. Now the funny thing is the Client Thread that accepts this response is not Client Thread 1, but Client Thread 2:
    3. Server Thread 1 wakes up -- XML response --> Client Thread 2 reads the response instead of Client Thread 1.
    What could be the problem!? What's also weird to me is that, if I try to do this scenario using a browser (by executing http request), the problem doesn't happen. Client Thread 1 returns to Server Thread 1 and Client Thread 2 returns to Server Thread 2.
    The code I wrote consist of a thread objects which has it's own private UrlConnection, InputStream, OutputStream, etc.
    This is a snippet of my code:
    public class Process {
    // this is how I create my threads
    public void execute(DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
    HttpProcess httpRequestor;
    try
    httpRequestor = new HttpProcess(datasource,ad);
    httpRequestor.start();

    private DataOutputStream dout;
    public HttpProcess (DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
    this.ds = datasource;
    this.adData = ad;
    // this is how I implement my run method
    public void run ()
    try
    String urlmsg = "http://localhost:9050" +
    "/?field1=" + adData.getField1()+
    "&field2=" + adData.getField2()+
    "&field3="+ adData.getField3();
    System.out.print("Sending URL message : " + urlmsg);
    url = new URL(urlmsg);
    urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    urlConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
    urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
    urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    out = new BufferedOutputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getOutputStream());
    dout = new DataOutputStream(out);
    t = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(dout));
    t.flush();
    while(listening)
    in = new BufferedInputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getInputStream());
    din = new DataInputStream(in);
    d = new BufferedReader(new
    InputStreamReader(din));
    String inputStr;
    if ((inputStr = d.readLine())!=null)
    din.close();

    I thought I had it right by having private inputStream for each thread. but the behavior looks like the inputStream is shared by the two threads. However, I'm still new with java so I know my conclusion worth zero. Has anybody ever bumped into this kind of problem? Looking forward to hear back what you guys think. I'm just really really really curious about this problem
    Thanks so much.

    Please use code tags (&#91;code] and &#91;/code]). It's also quite possible the problem is in your server code, or your test jig, etc. You should post a small example that replicates your problem.
    Also, the while(listening) loop looks really screwy. I'm not sure what's going on there (why would you wrap your input stream inside a loop, especially since you close the input stream in the loop)?

  • Probably super simple...ACL/VLANs

    I have a VLAN 6 that is dedicated to a Partner organization (they share our bandwidth and schedule conference rooms with our Exchange).
    Question is how do I configure ACLs to direct ALL traffic to and from Partner, exception of accessing our Outlook Web Access and DNS servers in VLAN 1, and our websites in VLAN 2 ?
    This is probably super simple but I keep ending up with traffic going where I don't want it to.  Thanks so much...
    (And if anything else seems wacky about this setup, blame the last IT guy)

    What is the platform you are using??? ASA, router??
    Thanks,

  • Simple screen question

    How do I bind the following actions in screen?
    - New screen
    - Close screen
    - Next screen
    - Previous screen
    I'm probably being a bit of a newb here, but I couldn't find anything on google/this forum.

    If you know the default key binding, look it up in man screen under Default key bindings.
    (in this case: screen, kill (or quit, depending what you mean), next, prev)

    It's always nicer to see the live page on remote server so we can see the images and everything in context.
    Try changing this:
    body {
    background-image: url(../webimages/background.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    float: inherit;
    to this:
    body {
    background: url(../webimages/background.gif) repeat;
    Also,  remove the height="value"  from your tables.  It's not valid code.
