Setting up a bridge for solaris 10

Hi,
I currently have a dual boot for on my desktop (Solaris 10 and WinXP). I'm currently looking for a way to get online while in solaris, my WinXP install is on a wireless network but it's almost impossible to find wireless drivers for solaris so i'm trying to use my ethernet capabilities.
I bought a wireless print server which has a bridge feature and i'm hoping to find some information on how to setup a bridge on my solaris install.
Any help or direction will help me a lot since I'm very new to solaris. Thank you in advanced.

I have a similar issue but have not been able to get this solution to work.
I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n that is set up in bridge mode and connected to a DSL modem that assigns IP addresses.
I wish to use a remote Airport Express (late 2008) 802.11n to connect via ethernet to a PowerMac without wireless.
In summary I desire: DSL-ethernet-AirportExtreme-wireless-AirportExpress-ethernet-PowerMac
I have reset the Airport Express to factory defaults and then set to "Join wireless network" and checked allow Ethernet clients. The Airport Express gets an IP address but any number of Macs I have tried will not get an IP address in DHCP mode (except a self-assigned one). I have verified that the cable works: when I connect the Macs to the Airport Extreme base station, they all get an IP address. All versions of firmware are 7.4.1. I have also tried checking and unchecking "Allow this network to be extended" on the Airport Extreme.
Please help. Thanks

Apache-WebLogic bridge for Solaris 8

Is there an Apache bridge for Solaris 8 running on an x86 platofrm yet? Obviously, the one for SPARC systems doesn't work...

After looking everywhere for the reason why it wasn't working, I found this forum.
I built my own and it worked like a charm!!
Thanks!

Unfortunately, we do not ship separate modules. It is unfortunate that
Redhat has chosen 2.0.40 as their base version and to backport fixes
into
that base version. The reason this is unfortunate is that the rest of
the
world is using at least 2.0.42.
Is there any chance you can build your own version ?

The problem with that is that the vendor supported,
secure version of Apache (for RedHat) is 2.0.40.
To understand why this is important, read this

Setting up as bridge for wired client

I know this should be simple, but I cannot figure this out. I have an AirportExtreme base station that provides my house with wireless. What I want to do is to provide internet access to a client that only has an ethernet connection.
Essentially, I just need the Airport Express to grab the wireless internet signal and send it through its ethernet port to my device. I don't want other wireless devices to connect to it...I'd prefer those only connect to the base station. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Duane- thanks for the info. The AX is g and my TimeCapsule base station is n. So I guess I'll have to use the WDS feature. My network is already setup with WPA2/Personal security.
To clarify what I meant by not allowing wireless clients: I want the AX to just serve as an ethernet "extension cord" a TiVo on the other side of the hosue (which only has an ethernet port). And I was thinking that since the AX is a G device, I'd rather my laptops use the base station as the wireless provider even if I'm closer the AX. Is that possible?
One last question, in setting up WDS, would I set the AX to be a remote or a relay? I'm not sure I know the difference between those two modes.

Set network speed & mode in Solaris 10

Hi all,
Can someone know how to change the network speed and mode in solaris 10 SPARC
I tried with ndd -set , is this valid for Solaris 10
How can I check the speed and mode
Regards,

It depends on what type of interface card you have, but basically you can use ndd -set and ndd-get commands on most of the NICs in a Sun box:

Setting up Bridge for multiple users on a network

New Bridge user here
Can anyone give me some advice on how to set up Bridge for use by multiple users over a network / server?
We have a large image bank stored on a server and ideally if any one user adds keywords or other metadata to an image I would like the rest of the users to be able to view that data and be able to use it in searches. AS more than one user could add keywords at any time I was wondering is it possible to set up a central keyword file or cache so any updates are available to all users.
Do I set up a shared cache? What happens if it becomes corrupted and has to be rebuilt, do the keywords disappear as well?
Are the keywords associated with that particular cache or are they stored in a separate file?
Thanks,
Hazel

Curt
how do you know if your using the
Central cache all distributed cache ?
and are they both stored in the same place ?

Set rlim_fd_cur=8192 for Solaris 10 Zone?

Hi!
I would like to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 on Solaris 10 Zone (Sparc 64 Bit).
Unfortunately I could find the file etc/system. Instead I added the project file acording to SAP note 724713.
When I run SAP prerequisite Checker SAPINST tells me that the following will be missed:
set rlim_fd_cur=8192 in etc/system.
Question:
Do I need to add the file etc/system and add them the following commando:
set rlim_fd_cur=8192?
Or does this commando not apply for Solaris 10?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

> In solaris 9 and below, it was needed to add the parameter in /etc/system. With solaris 10 no need.
This is not completely true.
The number of maximum open files must be set in the global zone, otherwise you will run into problems once the total number of processes in all zones will be > 1024 - hence you need to also set this in Solaris 10.
A zone has no /etc/system thus that error can be ignored.

How do I set up Full Bridge Mode for port fowarding?

How do i go about setting up Full bridge mode, for port forwarding on my Airport extreme's ? I Have two working to get coverage in my house, but I guess they need to be bridged together

For most routers, including the AirPorts, bridge mode disables both the NAT & DHCP services. Since NAT is disabled, all of the firewall ports on the AirPort are open and thus port mapping/forwarding would not be reqiured. Therefore if you configure your AirPort as a bridge, the port mapping optios will not be available.
Since you have two AirPort routers, you would only need to configure the AirPort that is NOT in bridge mode for port mapping to allow communicaton coming in from the Internet. This would typically be the AirPort attached directly to the Internet.

Do I need to set AI colour profiles for use in ID?

My previous set up:
Mac
CS2 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge)
Quark XPress 7
My new set up:
PC (Win 7)
CS5 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign)
My problem:
I work for a company that prints newspapers, but my dept also does work for glossy sheetfed printers (magazines leaflets etc)
All my work is exclusively CMYK.
With my previous set up - I didn’t want to have to switch my colour profiles via Bridge as I was constantly juggling two types of jobs:
Our tabloid press - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4 (CMYK)
Sheetfed Printers - Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) (CMYK)
So I set my CS2 Suite colour settings to ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and set an action in Photoshop to convert jpegs / eps photos to ISOnewspaper26v4.
So my CS2 working space was set for Sheetfed glossy publications and if I wanted to set a picture to the correct profile for newsprint I just had to open the picture and hit the action that applied the ISOnewspaper26v4 profile.
Regarding Quark – I set up separate templates for each type of job:
One for Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and one for - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4.
Regarding Illustrator - I found that Quark 7 didn’t differentiate between Illustrator colour profiles, or if it did, it didn’t show up in ‘Usage’.
If I went to Quark Usage and went to ‘Profiles’ it only listed the Quark profile and any Photoshop profiles, not any Illustrator profiles.
So in Illustrator I just set colour profiles to ‘do not colour manage this document’. So that I only had to worry about changing profiles for Photoshop jpegs / eps’s.
So I had a good little system going that served me well and now my company decided to move us to PC’s and CS5; and I still have the same problem – juggling newsprint jobs and glossy magazine jobs and not wanting to have to synchronise my CS suite colour settings every time I switch between jobs...
So I was hoping to stick with my little system on PC / CS5.
So basically my question is, do I need to worry about Illustrator colour profiles if I am bringing Illustrator files into InDesign? (To clarify, my Illustrator files are always pure vector, so there is no chance of some rogue RGB jpeg sneaking through on a Illustrator file)
Im open to suggestions regarding my set up, but really would prefer not to have to keep switching my colour profiles.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, I wasn't suggesting that your PDFs be exported to RGB, but it is a common workflow these days to keep photos in RGB until you convert them to the correct profile during the export process. This maximizes the potential for re-purposing your documents and allows you to use the same RGB photos for different output purposes without having to do separate CMYK conversions for each destination, so long as you don't need to do any tweaking after the conversion.
And to answer your question, if the .ai files have no embedded color profile they will ALWAYS be considered to use whatever the CMYK working space is in your ID file, so the numbers will be preserved. This means that there will be slight differences in color on output on different devices (the whole point of color management, after all, is to preserve the appearance of colors by altering the numbers for the output device).
Does the vector work you get from Thinstock come with an embedded profile? Is there any color that is critical for matching, such as a corporate color (which should be spot, but that's a different discussion), or do you use the same art in both the newspaper and magazine, and does the client expect a match (which we know isn't going to happen anyway)?
If there's no embedded profile when you start, there's no way to know what the color was supposed to look like, so color management is not possible, really. You can assign a profile, but you'd be guessing. Since the correct appearance at that point is unknown continuing with out color management shouldn't present a problem. The only case where you would need to manage the vector art would be if the color APPEARANCE is critical or you need it to match across different outputs, and in that case you would need to assign a profile and allow ID to preserve the profile on import and remap the numbers, which means you would likely get rich blacks someplace. Since it's unlikely that you can get a good match going from glossy to newsprint, I probably wouldn't even try -- you wouldn't want, for example, to tag the art as newsprint, and have it print subdued on the gloss if it would look better or more correct with the other profile. Color management would be much more useful if you were going from sheetfed to web on the same stock.

Using libraries vs. Bridge for graphics in placeholder frames

Hi,
I do not understand the advantanges of using libraries vs. Bridge for my purpose:
Purpose:
I am working with templates using graphic placeholder frames. The frames are anchored in table cells and have object styles applied defining e.g. the placement of the graphic within the graphic frame.
I want to set up central graphic library for all graphics used in all my documents.
The graphics should then be linked into the documents
Idea:
set up various InDesign libraries and then drag the graphics into the placeholder frames. Then, when the graphic needs to be changed, do the changes in the library and have all my documents updated at once.
Problem:
Dragging graphics from the library into the placeholder frames does not seem to work. They are simply placed onto the page and NOT in the graphic frame. On the other hand when I simply store the graphics in various subdirectories in my file system and drag the graphics onto the page using Adobe Bridge, they ARE placed in the graphic placeholder frames.
The library therefore seems a disadvantage, so why should I use a library instead of the Bridge?
Also, will be upgrading to CS5 soon an want to use the live-linking caption feature. Should I use libraries or the Bridge approach?
Stumped on this issue

I like the idea with the snippet, but when dragging a snippet from Bridge there is still the same problem as with the library item: The graphic is NOT placed into the graphic placeholder frame of my template but is a free-flowing new graphic item which has to be placed manually.
Interestingly, a JPG-file simply saved in the filesystem and dragged from Bridge and dropped over the placeholder frame WILL place the JPG into the frame!
Why won't snippets do this??

Quad gigaSwift Ethernet Driver for Solaris 10 Sparc

I have been looking about for this all over the place and cannot find it anywhere, in the manual and the sun site all the downloads are for solaris 9.
Are these cards not supported on Solaris 10 Sparc ?
Cheers,
Mike

it is the X4444A solaris 10 did pick up the card straight away, but the problem is there was no ce.conf file, i have created my own because i need to turn on jumbo frame for an individual port, but when i add it in all the ports on the card are being set to MTU 9800 so then i have to set them indivually to 1500 apart from the one i am using that needs to be 9000. This is all good and proper but when i activate this the box connects to the netapps server but all nfs shares fail as soon as anything touches these directories.
The netapps filer is running at MTU 9000 and the card is running at 9000 causes everything to fall over, set back to normal and everything is ok.
Any ideas ?

Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

Airport Extreme needs to be set-up in "Bridge mode" ??

The dsl people said that their system was compatable with OS 10.4.7 (which is installed) but that the Airport Extreme modem will need to be set-up in "bridge-mode." Can I do that? Where can I find instructions or help with that? When I queried "bridge mode" on this site I get lots of stuff with acronyms I don't understand and stuff about routers and wireless bridges and other stuff I don't understand... I really need help!

Oracle 9,2.0 32 bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB?

I am sorry to ask rather stupid question.
I joined company which has big SUN Fire running Solaris 9 64bit version.
It has system memory 16GB and 8 CPUs.
I found 8GB memory reported as free. It is production box. It is heavy loaded.
I guess Kernel parameter settings for Oracle set too low.
I reported DBA and asked DBA to improve.
My DBA said Oracle 32 bit version was installed and Oracle 32bit can't access more than 4GB system memory.
Is it true that Oracle 9.2.0 32bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB memory?
32bit CPU and 32bit OS might have problem in access big memory.
But I never heard Oracle 9 running on 64bit Solaris box can not access more than 4GB.
Specially on Sparc 64bit chip and Solaris 9 64bit version.
I searched forums and could not find good answer. I believe it is rather obvious.
Please help me on this. I will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was really surprised by the fact that almighty
ORACLE can not access 4GB memory.
So, it is true that 32bit Oracle is limited by 4GB RAM.Nope. 32bit almighty anything is limited to (max) 2^32 virtual adresses on a vmm system.
Often there is also some split where memory is divided into system and user areas, where user (program) has e.g. 2 or 3GB. All this works regardless of amount of RAM available 0.5 or 512GB.
Perhaps this link provides some useful info/background.

hello, you don't have to use hme0, that may not be your NIC type. your NIC appears to be realtek adapter. download the drivers first [try here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/rf-1.0.9.tar.gz] install them, then your NIC will have a name like rt0. you can then proceed to set its interface.i hope ifconfig -a, blah,blah is ok with u. If the adapter is ok then you can now do the zones - they are just automatic no strugling!
you can also find the drivers from realtek website at -- ftp://152.104.238.194/cn/nic/rtl8139abcd8130810xseries/rtls211.zip
here are sample instructions on how to install the driver
How to install Solaris/x86 version
1. This is the version 2.1.1 RTL8139 serials driver for Solaris/x86
version.
2. It support Speed/Duplex-Force mode, you can set it through rtls.conf file.
3. It supports 3 PCI-VID_DID cards, VID_10EC_DID_8139 for Realtek's
native, VID_1113_DID_1211 for Accton and VID_1186_DID_1301 for
D-Link in the install script.
4. Install method:
a. Power-off your PC and insert your RTL8139 adapter.
b. Boot-up you Solaris/x86 and login as "root".
c. Copy the "rtls211.zip" into the temporary location in your
hard-driver.
d. UNZIP the "rtls211.zip" and you will get 3 files, "rtls", "rtls.conf" and
"Install".
e. If the PCI ID for your RTL8139 adapter is not VID_10EC_DID_8139
or VID_1113_DID_1211 or VID_1186_DID_1301, you can modify the
"Install" file to match your PCI ID, VID_ABCD_DID_WXYZ for example,
modify the "pci1186,1301" to "pciABCD,WXYZ".
f. Run the "Install" from File Manager to install the driver, and
it will modify 2 files, "/etc/name_to_major" and "/etc/driver_aliases"
g. You need to create the "/etc/hostname.rtls0" file and modify some
other related files to make your networking environments working well.
h. You can execute "touch /reconfigure" then "shutdown -i5 -g0", so that
Solaris will reboot and scan changed hardware environment.
i. You can execute "ifconfig -a" to make sure the RTL8139 driver is up.
success. bye
