Setting up Network & Internet via Router on Solaris 10 (x86)

The problem that I have seems to be a very common one. As a regular windows user I have never had any reason to use any other Operating Systems, however, studying oracle on Sun Systems through university has meant that unless I get my own Solaris machine set up I will be unable to work on my assignments form home.
This being said when it comes to anything other than windows I am a little stuck. The interface of Solarix 10 is relatively straight forward and I have managed to set the majority of the system up, however, one area that seems to baffle me is the network side of things.
I have spent the past few hours looking over this forum and bashing google but I have had no luck. From what I can tell Solaris is not picking up my Network Interface Card (MSI KT4AV) built-in.
I connect to the internet via a D-Link DSL 604GT. The network consists of 3 wired connections and about 5 wireless laptops/pc's and such.
Having said that I have searched for drivers for my card with no luck. Is there anyway to confirm that my network card isnt being detected or is this not the case.
If you want more information about my problem then please let me know.

BTW I also dug up this info about the VIA VT6103 LAN controller that according to the MSI site your mobo uses.
according to this thread
http://forums.viaarena.com/messageview.aspx?catid=6&threadid=66105&enterthread=y
You can go to the windows update site and it will scan and detect the controller and load the driver, not sure how that works but it is in the thread. Also if you are fealing up to it according to the thread you could go to
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
and #3 is a driver reported by some to work for the VIA VT6103 LAN controller which is known as the Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter.
I myself am using #17 the nfo driver for my nvidia nforce2 built in nic. The afore mentioned Install check tool reported the nifty web site as the location of my third party driver. It works like a champ.

  • Tbox not connecting to internet via router

    I installed the new Tbox this week. Once installed, I connected to my wireless FrtizBoz router and all was working fine. I went online and registered for Presto and after a short time Presto was available and we watched a couple of movies. The next day it was working fine into the afternoon but that evening we could not access Presto. A warning indicated no internet connection available and when I went to setup there was a red cross shoing no router connection. My home computer network and my Blueray player all access the internet via the same router and all are functioning correctly with full intenet access. When I go to the wifi setup, I see my router in the list, I can attemt to reconnect and I see the password I had entered previously. I tried rebooting the TBOX, the Router and re-entering the password but I cannot get the connection to work any more.  The wifi hardware is obviously operating as it can list the available routers (and mine is listed), but continues to give error of no internet access when attempting to connect. This thing lasted 24 hours and stopped. Nothing was changed in the router or the TBOX in that period. Any help much appreciated. please email [email protected] Regards David 

    Is this the reset where you press the reset button 5 times? In this case, will I need to set up the Presto accont user names and password again? The Router (FrtixBox) is sitting in the kitchen about 3m from the TBOX. The other 45 wifi devices are scattered around the house and all working perfectly fine.  When you say to use another wifi channel, do you mean I remove the router (I must disconnect it from internet to be able to plug into a computer) and then plug it into LAN port of computer and run the setup to change the channel in the router itself? If I do this, will the passwords set up on the other 5 devices still be valid for the new channel when I plug the trouter in again?

  • Can't connect to internet via router and airtunes at the same time

    Can anyone help me connect to the internet via my BT Homehub, and play AirTunes through my Airport base station at the same time? I can only seem to do one at a time.
    I've seen the articles about setting up clients etc but don't get it. Using the Airport Assistant utilty doesn't really help either. Would like someone to go through the steps I need to follow.
    Thanks

    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select your BT Homehub wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Set a static IP via Router?

    Is it possible to set a static IP via my AirPort Extreme router? I am creating a World of Warcraft server and need a static IP address. Please give me directions if you know how to do this. Thanks.

    You would either configure a static IP address for the WOW server at the server itself or use the AirPort Utility to reserve a DHCP-provided IP address to the server instead.

    Hi Dan
    Have you confirmed that the Netgear Powerline adaptor works fine with other computers on your network?
    On your mini, if you go into System Preferences - Network - Built-in Ethernet, what are your TCP/IP settings? Are they the same as for the iMac?

  • Can't connect to the internet via router(WRT54G)

    Hi, I've just installed my WRT54G wireless router even though I'm connected to the internet and all the right lights are flashing. I still don't get any internet connection through the router. I've tried all kind of methods but still nothing. Please help me.

    if you have cable isp, log on to the router's admin <192.168.1.1> via internet explorer.. doesn't need the router to be online on the web to access it..
    once inside, select mac address clone on the blue strips and choose enable and click clone my pc's mac bar..(make sure you use the main pc that was first online thru the modem/cable box)..then save settings..
    then go to status on the black strip and check if you have an ip address and dns 1 to 2/3.. if you do.. then congrats.. you have successfully configured the router..
    if you have dsl, and has username and pw from isp, log on to router admin same way and select on the first box w/ the drop down arrow pppoe, type in un & pw and save settings..gp to status and make sure pppoe says connected w/ ip addresses as well..
    if no un & pw, connect only pc and router, access router admin same way, change lan ip to a diff. segment <192.168.2.1>save settings..unplug the router's power cable only for 10-20sec and plug in internet cable from dsl box and power as well.. to make sure, log on to new ip of router (e.g 192.168.2.1), clone pc's mac as well..then go to status and check if you have ip addresses..
    NOTE: if non of them gave you ip addresses, click dhcp renew / refresh button on status screen for cable and dsl w/o un & pw..
    if pppoe connection, try powering down router & modem at same time for 2min. then power them back on.. it should work by then..
    whew!!! that was long.. nwei, it worked for me and my neighbor, i have cable, she has dsl..good luck!!!

  • Cannot print to network printer via router

    I have attached my EPSON CX3200 printer to the USB port on my US Robotics router but i cannot print to it from my Mac.
    When i try to print on it by wireless from a windows laptop, it works without problems.
    I think i tried all settings in printerconfiguration, without succes.
    I already found out that i had to select the GIMP driver for IP printing but that didn't help.
    What should by the host name (xxx.local) for this printer when it is attached to the router? In my list, the printer attached to the router has the same host name as the local USB printer that is connected to the Mac which seems strange to me.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    thx, i came a step closer now:
    i had to choose Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP and enter the device URL (http://...)
    When i now try to print i get the message: "printer in use; new try within 10 seconds" but it cannot start printing. Any clue?

  • Help, I cannot connect to the internet via airport with either my Imac or I-Pad.  Connecting via ethernet works okay for Imac.  I can connect wirelesssly with my windows laptop.  I have reset my router, created a new network. It was all okay on Monday

    Normally I have my IMac, I-Pad and Windows Laptop all working on my home network via wi-fi. This week I find that I cannot access the inetrnet on my IMac or I-pad via wi-fi but I can connect to the internet via wi-fi with my windows based laptop.
    The airport diagnostics (reds/yellows) indcate that I am connected
    I can access the internet if I plug my IMac into the router via an ethernet cable
    I have restarted the IMac and the I-Pad, rebooted the router and created a new network.  None of these changes has made a difference.  Does anyone have any ideas please?

  • Need help setting up wireless internet network

    I have a 1 GHz iMac G4 (purchased in 2003) that has a dsl connection to the internet via an ethernet cable and the dsl modem that was provided by my internet service (earthlink). My friend recently gave me her imac - same model. I've given it to my son for his room and would like to set up a wireless network so I can get his computer on the internet too.
    I've read enough here to figure out that our computers are compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. But what other equipment do I need? How many Airport Extreme cards? an AirPort station?, a router? I'm clueless but very good at following instructions. So if there is an FAQ somewhere that would be helpful too.
    Thanks!

    Sarah, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need a wireless router. You can use one of Apple's or a 3rd party wireless router.
    You can connect one of the iMacs to the router via Ethernet if you want. Or you can add AirPort Extreme cards to both iMacs.

    Enabling Oracle Management Service to Access My Oracle Support
    Unless online access to the Internet is strictly forbidden in your environment, Oracle Management Service should be enabled to access My Oracle Support. This access is necessary to enable updates and patches to be downloaded, for example.
    At minimum, the following URLs should be made available through the firewall:
    aru-akam.oracle.com
    ccr.oracle.com
    login.oracle.com
    support.oracle.com
    updates.oracle.com
    About the dontProxyfor Property
    When you configure the Oracle Management Service or a Management Agent to use a proxy server, it is important to understand the purpose of the dontProxyFor property, which identifies specific URL domains for which the proxy will not be used.
    For example, suppose the following were true:
    You have installed the Oracle Management Service and several Management Agents on hosts that are inside the company firewall. These hosts are in the internal .example.com and .example.us.com domains.
    You have installed several additional Management Agents on hosts that are outside the firewall. These hosts are installed in the .example.uk domain.
    You have configured Enterprise Manager to automatically check for critical software patches on My Oracle Support.
    In this scenario, you want the Oracle Management Service to connect directly to the Management Agents inside the firewall without using the proxy server. On the other hand, you want the Oracle Management Service to use the proxy server to contact the Management Agents outside the firewall, as well as the My Oracle Support site, which resides at the following URL:
    http://support.oracle.com
    The following properties will prevent the Oracle Management Service from using the proxy server for connections to the Management Agents inside the firewall. Connections to My Oracle Support and to Management Agents outside the firewall will be routed through the proxy server:
    proxyHost=proxy42.example.com
    proxyHost=80
    dontProxyFor=.example.com, .example.us.com
    PS: Cygwin has nothing to do with My Oracle Support connection. Cygwin is ONLY required for agent deployment using agent push from OMS.

  • Apple TV to access internet via subnet (2nd router) via powerline

    My current setup is this:
    Internet -> Sky router ( DHCP & Wireless off ) -> Asus AC66U ( static IP from Sky router & DHCP on & serves all internet connections in home)
    The Apple TV 3rd gen is connected via ethernet in to a power line plug.
    It was previously 'looking' at the Sky router for internet access but now that's no longer servicing as a DHCP, it should now look too the Asus router for internet access via ethernet and/or wirelress
    Am I right in assuming that all I need to do is set the settings, manually, on the Apple TV to look at the Asus router via the DNS settings or do I need to set it a static IP on both the ATV and the Asus Router?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Kam,
    If you are changing your network configuration but still using a wired configuration for your Apple TV, then you will not need to change anything. Then only thing you will need to do is to make sure that it is connected to the router that is servicing DHCP. The article below has a a brief snippet on that.

  • Network prefs: "connected to internet via airport"... but can't go online??

    I've got steady green lights on my airport express and modem/router; and in Network Preferences it says that I am connected to the internet via Airport (green light here too). BUT, I can't get online with any of my browsers or my mail client. What's going on here? Help appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have a Modem Router combined and an Airport Express
    The Express must be set up to NOT DISTRIBUTE IP's.
    You do not mention what brand Modem or Router or Modem /Router combined. Your network confiquration can very a little depending on what you are using.
    If you are using all Apple Airport products the confiquration is pretty straight forward.
    If you are using 3rd party products then the set up can be a little different.
    From what you say in your post you are using 2 routers, my quess is the Express is set up to distribute IP's and if your other router is set up this way then thats your problem.

  • My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

    My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
    When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

    The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
    Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
    Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
    If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.
