Solaris 10 basic network tutorial

Hi there,
I have a solaris 10 machine and a windows xp machine.
I have them linked up with a cross over cable.
I have set the IP on the windows machine to 192.168.0.100 on a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
What i cannot seem to fathom (although i did manage it on linux, somehow) is how to configure the solaris machine.
Does anyone know of a good BASIC tutorial on how i can get the two machine networked. Basically, i would like to get ftp and telnet working between the machines.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
dmesg a system message log viewer.
It will tell you the 'instance name' of your network
card, but a whole lot else about devices and
boot histories.
So you need to run it, pipe the output into
a grep (search) for network, and pipe the
result of that into a grep for pci. I'm using your
network card will be some kind of PCI card
Here's what I get:
# dmesg | grep -i network | grep pci
Feb 7 19:13:59 ten genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 (hme0) online
hme0 is therefore my interface name.
'hme' is the driver name, '0' is the first one.
# man hme
gives you the scarey driver details.
So I need to have /etc/hostname.hme0 in order
to have a hostname. Only one line in the file,
only one word in it -- the same as the hostname
you supplied in /etc/hosts.
On sparc, the drivers include hme, qfe, eri and le.
On x86, they include bcme and ibprb.
An x86 box with a one broadcom network card
will have bcme0.

    This is message indicating that your network is not finding the route to

  • Encountering Problems with Basic Sound Tutorial

    Hello everyone,
    I am encountering problems with a basic sound tutorial. I am absolutely confused as to what the problem may be because the code is so simple, and is essentially copied from the textbook. I am convinced that I have done something very silly but cannot see it.
    I have attempted to run this in an appletviewer, Firefox and Internet Explorer. I have attempted to launch it from both a .class file and a .jar file. I have uninstalled and offline installed the JDK and JRE and successfully tested the new installations.
    The audio file I am attempting to load and play is an .AU (Sun/Next 8-bit u-law) audio file I created in Audacity. It is located in the same folder as the AudioApplet.class file.
    My sound system is defintely on, since I have listened to music all day. I have attempted running the program with Media Player closed.
    package edu.myuniversityid.sandbox;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.applet.AudioClip;
    * @author Ibuki
    public class AudioApplet extends Applet
         * Initialization method that will be called after the applet is loaded
         * into the browser.
        public void init()
            super.init();
            AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
            ac.play();
    }The code compiles fine, however absolutely I get a small white window when it is run. No sound.
    Thankyou for your time.
    Regards,
    Ibuki.
    PS. I am sure this worked before the university forced me to update my version of Windows to SP2. Hence, the reason for reinstalling Java. Twice.
    Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:09 AM becasuse: Added a PS.

    I have attempted this alternative, without success:
        public void init()
            try
                super.init();
                URL url = new URL(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
                AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(url);
                ac.play();
            catch (MalformedURLException ex)
                Logger.getLogger(AudioApplet.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }The sample.au is definetly in the correct directory. Both File Explorer and NetBeans confirm this.
    Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:59 AM
    I have discovered a temporary solution that works in the applet viewer. The applet will load and plays the correct music perfectly. However, using this code it is not working when I try to deploy it using a web browser (MSIE and FF)!
    public void init()
            super.init();
            AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
            ac.play();
    Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 12:12 PM
    Eureka!
    Having worked in the applet viewer I managed to get it working in the web browser by simply packaging my SoundApplet.class and sample.au into a .jar archive.
    <html>
         <body>
              <applet code="edu.myuniversityid.sandbox.AudioApplet.class" archive="dist/AudioApplet.jar">Unfortunately, this applet content cannot be displayed on this web page because your current browser does not support Java SE 6! Please <a href="http://www.java.com/">update your version of Java</a>.</applet>
         </body>
    </html>
    public void init()
            super.init();
            AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
            ac.play();
        }Thankyou everyone.

  • Basic Template tutorial

    Suggestions for an easy to use basic template tutorial?
    1) Specifically I want to create a template with a navbar
    similar to this one:
    www.mulberrywood.com
    2) Without the center text and images
    3) And with the bottom text links to other pages.
    For some reason when I manually copy the text links at the
    bottom of the page they never link correctly... I have to use the
    link box at the bottom of the page to erase the link and then paste
    in the link and then they always work...

    > I am seeking a very easy to follow tutorial (preferably
    with step by step

    Did you read the tutorial at the dw template tutorial link I

    > logical reason but what
    I'm not exactly sure you are having the copy and paste
    problem, but I would
    assume it's because the links aren't being recognised
    correctly.
    Ok, I'll give you the steps to take to create a template from
    that mulberry
    page.
    Make sure the page you want to create a template from is
    correctly coded,
    the links are correct, the links to graphics are correct
    extra.
    1.Open the site you want to work on. ( you need to be working
    in a defined
    DW site for templates to be created correctly
    2.Open the index page (which is the one I presume you want to
    create into a
    template).
    3.Leave everything as it is.
    4. Go to FILE>SAVE AS TEMPLATE
    5. You will get a dialogue box..
    with the Site box already filled in (should be the name of
    you defined site)
    Save As: give your template a name (eg: mainpage)
    Save
    6. You will be asked to update links. Say yes
    7. You now need to create an editable region (this is the
    area that you
    will be changing on every page).
    8. Highlight the center table in your content area
    9. Go to : INSERT>TEMPLATE OBJECTS> select Editable
    Region
    10. Dialogue box: Name: maincontent (or whatever you want to
    call this
    editable region)
    11. Click OK
    12. You have now created a template.
    the code around your table should now look like this:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="maintable" -->
    <table> bla bla bla </table>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    13. Now if you want to create a 'child page' from this
    template go to:
    FILE>NEW> and select the TEMPLATES tab
    You should now see the name of the template you create.
    13. Select the template and a page will now be created for
    you.
    You should now see a page exactly the same as your index page
    (if that is
    what you used to create the template), except that you can't
    change anything
    in any area apart from that middle table.
    14. You now need to save this page.
    SAVE AS: services.html (or whatever).
    Make sure you save the file to the root of your folder (where
    all your other
    files are kept, DO NOT save into the template folder) You are
    not to have
    anything in the Templates folder apart from the dwt file.
    15. Your bottom links in your template file (dwt) will look
    something like
    this:
    a href="../howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
    This is because once the template is created, the link needs
    to point to the
    root of your site.
    When you look at the same link in the child page you created
    it will look
    like this:
    a href="howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
    That's about it. You cannot however, apply this template to
    your other
    pages. You can, however, it may be difficult for a novice to
    accomplish
    until they understand how templates work.
    If you managae to create the template, you will have to
    create a child page
    and then copy and paste the contents from your other pages
    into that
    maincontent editable region you create.
    Another thing to remember is that in your template, make sure
    when / if you
    add links to make them Relative to: document. This way, your
    linking should
    always be correct.
    For when you want to create a new template at any other time
    (not with this
    site), the steps are pretty similar. Create your page, save
    as template,
    add any editable regions you need and follow the steps from
    there.
    PS: I did notice in your code, that you are using <th>
    in your tables
    instead of <tr>
    <th> is really used for headings, you should be using
    <tr> table rows.
    When you insert a table, there should be a dialogue box,
    where you need to
    DESELECT header rows.
    Anything that gets put into a <th> gets a bold
    formatting, which is not what
    you really want when you create a table correctly.
    This table tutorial may also be of some help to you:

    least a bit ;-)

  • Basic networking help

    I know this is a basic question but can anyone point me to a guide or tutorial that will help me setup a network between two macs.
    I have a AirPort Extreme able iBook G4 and Powerbook G4(my roommate and I) and we are wanting to be able to do three things. It is also wise to note that we are using a Netgear WGR614 v.4 wireless router. We have it set up now that we can both connect to the internet wirelessly and wired without any problems.
    I will start here by saying we BOTH have our firewalls off under the 'sharing' folder in Sys Prefs
    We want now to be able to transfer files amongst ourselves, browse each others iTunes music, maybe even connect to one anothers printer. In the past we managed to exchange a file through our Public folder's "Drop Box". This took us awhile to sort out what to do and got it to work by chance, then next time tried to do it again and it wouldn't work. Also as it is now I can open my finder and click "Networks" and see and alias to her computer, but I cannot connect it says the ip is incorrect or does not exist. Finally if we both have iTunes open, we can see each others computer listed but cannot connect to one another, odd thing is when either of us is at school on that network we can both see other people's computers and listen to their music, so our settings must be set up right.
    So is there a walkthrough, tutorial or guide that may resolve my problems? I have tried a few searches on the net as well as the mac site and nothing has been helpful yet.
    re-cap. want to share files across local network. itunes browsing, and printer sharing.
    Thanks in advance
    mad-elph

    The File Sharing information can be found in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.
    KB 93365, Finding and Listening to Shared iTunes Music Libraries
    For Printer Sharing, on the Mac connected to the printer via USB open the Sharing preference pane and enable Printer Sharing.

  • A network tutorial please

    Hello guys
    my cousin and me bought 2 books of j2me (oreilly and manning), well we learn make gui, forms, actions etc, but about of the chapter of network, well i see that is simple, inclusive the examples dont work according with the books to 100%(use midp 1.0 and only a request and response examples about http)
    well the question is this,
    where i can download an excelent or nice tutorial related with this in special, (networks)
    one:
    ie: with my j2me(cellphone) go to a server (tomcat preference) to make some operations, shooping cart, check info of db,etc
    or a recommend book of your experience (i dont know if exist special books about j2me and networks that teach this topic more deeply)
    two:
    i want control a PLC with java , so my cellphone will be my client, the tomcat the server, and of course the plc the final tool :p
    my problem is between j2me and tomcat,
    if a engineering or other professional have some experience with this, please help me
    in others words, examples and tutorials about of commnucation client/server tomcat and j2me
    thanks a lot for your time

    I am a certified network engineer, currently work on a boradband hyrbid network, and have a college degree in network engineering and administration.
    What do you want to know, and I can give you the basics. Networks can be anything - satellite, earth-based, and can be wired or wireless as well as mixed of all types. There are small, medium, and large networks, different protocols, hardware, and many different views.
    What do you need? What do you want to do with a network - that will help more than anything else.

  • Setting up a pretty basic network AP extreme + 2 AP Express: tech advice

    I have got this network to function for quite sometime but since a couple of days the LED light flashes repeatedly 5 times yellow and one persistent green. In AP Utility I get "wds error" and the dot changes color also in software.
    The network I want to get going is - I guess - pretty basic. As main station, connected to the internet thru an ADSL-modem I have the AP Extreme. SInce I live in 2 stories flat and I need a max signal from one floor to the other (to stream music to a Slimdevices' Transporter) I thought I'd be using one AP Express as a link between the Extreme and the remotest AP Express, which turn feeds the Transporter. I should add: the Extreme BS is more than sufficient to provide for one floor (where I have 1 Powermac and 2 laps (1 Dell + 1 PB G4) so - if appropriate - one AP Express can be dedicated to just relaying the signal. I have had all this to work but now suddenly it starts ******** which is why I have to reevaluate my configuration = Extreme as basesation and the 2 Express-units as "WDS remotes".
    My Qs are: How should I configure the different units? Esp the "middleman"; as relay??? For optimum signal: could I - or even SHOULD I - have both Express units set up as "WDS remotes"

    Thanks for all patience. I reread the link you provided. After fiddling around with this some additional Qs pop up. I've set one as relay and the one serving my Transporter as remote. In APU looking at the Main station, ie The AP Extreme, under WDS there is a small window where you can add "remotes". In that window I should only add the actual WDS Remote, not the WDS Relay-unit, or??
    In my 1st trial with the Relay/Remote setup I had added the relay - only - to that list, then I became aware of that tab stating "WDS Remotes" so I changed it around as described above. Now I get a flashing yellow on the Main and a "WDS Error" further explained as "This base station is set up to be part of a WDS network, but no WDS peers can be found".

  • Linux user lost in solaris 10 network configuration :\

    I installed for evaluation Solaris 10 dor x86 and i'm trring to configure network interfaces. My problem is:
    If i "ping www.google.com" not works, but if i "nslookup www.google.com" works and i get ip ( 66.249.85.104 ) and if i
    "ping 66.249.85.104" or "traceroute 66.249.85.104" it works.
    So seems that DNS is configured and also network & gateway but for some reason if i ask for a URL this is not converted to an IP.
    Can someone explain how is possible and how to solve this?
    tnx in advance

    The 'hosts' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf probably does not have dns configured as one of the sources. The line should read:
    hosts: files dns

  • Basic networking - getting a Sun Ultra 10 on my home network

    Hello,
    I have a Sun Ultra 10 at home running Solaris 8.
    I am trying to teach myself a bit about networking so I thought I would try to get the box online. I am having little success. Hopefully someone will tell me where I'm going wrong. Here's what I've done:
    - Created /etc/hostname.hme0 with entry "mymachine" (without the quotes)
    - Edited /etc/hosts so that its contents are:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    192.168.1.110 mymachine loghost
    My documentation states that the fully qualified domain name should appear on the second of the above 2 lines, but I don't have a "mycompany.com" type domain thing, so I'm not sure what I should put, if anything?
    - verified that /etc/nodename contains the single line:
    mymachine
    - created /etc/defaultrouter with sinlge line entry:
    192.168.0.1
    This is the IP of my broadband router.
    When I rebooted the machine, an ifconfig -a reported an IP of 127.0.0.1 against hme0. That seemed odd (given that I put the IP in the hosts file) so I ran:
    ifconfig hme0 plumb
    ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.110 up
    and ifconfig -a then reported that the IP of hme0 was 192.168.0.1.
    However, I cannot ping 192.168.0.1. I get "ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.110 for icmp 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.0.1".
    I think it is quite likely that my problem is hardware. I have a network cable running from the network port on my Ultra 10 to port 3 on my 4 port hub (I've tried 1,2, and 3). Port 4 is the Normal/Uplink. I have a cable running from a port on my broadband router to port 4 on the hub. The port is set to "Normal" rather than Uplink. The Rx light flashes on port 4 - but not on port 3.
    I'd be extremely grateful for any pointers on this!
    Regards,
    Paul

    I changed the IP on my Solaris box to 192.168.0.110 and all was well. Well, I can get onto the internet now, and can see my Windows boxes from my Solaris box, but oddly I can't see (using ping) my Solaris box from my Windows box.

  • Solaris 10 Network Install on Netra t1.

    I'm trying to install Solaris on several Netra machines that I have. None of them have CD-ROMs and none of them have an OS installed. I've been trying to setup an Ultra 80 as an install server per the instructions found in "Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations" part number: 817-5504. The boot image is on the hard drive, but from there the instructions don't seem to apply to my case. These instructions seem to assume you have running machines that have a hostname and all the network settings configured. I've been looking all over the place to see if there are instructions to setup a hostname/ip config in openboot or in lom, but I haven't seen anything. The installation instructions just tell you to type "boot net - nowin" at the ok prompt, but I don't know if it searches for a DHCP server for IP config or if I have to set it myself. And with no OS installed, I can't just log in and set all these options up in Solaris. Typing "boot net" just returns the message "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet" over and over again.
    If I have to setup the Ultra 80 as a DHCP server I'll probably have to have a little instruction on that as well, if anyone knows docs for that. The Netra setup guides also seem to focus more on initial setup with an OS already installed rather than resetting or starting from scratch.

    If you have no plans to install Solaris 10 on recent X86 hardware you might try running Solaris 8 or 9 as your install server, configuration for the legacy bootparamd-based Jumpstart is pretty straightforward, well documented and doesn't require DHCP.
    The Netra T1s do not use DHCP to obtain boot parameters. I don't even know if the Solaris DHCP server can be configured to emulate legacy Jumpstart raprd/bootparamd. IIRC there was a way but it was not well documented, or maybe one just runs rarpd, rpc.bootparamd, and dhcpd at the same time.

    I have also read the unofficial_install_x86.pdf which talks of Where is my NIC in chapter 6.1, which seems to match my problem exactly, however I cannot apply the fix, as matching the compatibility strig to etc/driver_alises isn't so easy.
    Here is a snippet from prtconf -pv:
    compatible: 'pci4554,434e' + 'pci128h,9102' + 'pci1282,9102' + 'pciclass,020000'

    name: 'ethernet'
    devsel-speed: 00000001

    And here is a line from /etc/driver_alias that matches one of the 'compatible' strings:
    dmfe "pci128h,9102"
    I'm stuck - don't know where else to go. Do contact me on msn/aim/icq/email/here/whatever.
    Thank you.

    Why are you trying to run an old obsolete pre-release version of Solaris 10?
    I'd suggest that you install the final released product.

  • Solaris 10 network installation for X2100

    I would like to ask that how can I install Solaris 10 over network for Sun Fire X2100 because I did not found the X2100 Server Operating System Installation Guide but I found the Sun Fire X2100 M2 Server Operating System Installation Guide instead.

    i've solved the problem myself.
    thank you.

  • Solaris 10 network issues

    Hi,
    I recently installed Solaris amd64 3000+, 512MB 400MHz ram, gigabyte motherboard desktop. Everything went fine, except within the gui i wasnt prompted to use DHCP? unless i completely missed it!?! When i issue 'ifconfig lo0 dhcp start' i get "ifconfig: lo0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP" ??? This is driving me insane. I also remembered being prompted within text installer of Solaris but when I boot to DVD my keyboard freezes and I cant change option to text installer, i get default GUI which i didnt see option for DHCP. I also tried to assign an ip address to my lo0 interface but It always stays at 127.0.0.1. I changed /etc/host file and rebooted but nothing? I'm guessing im completely missing something. Help?

    I've got this same problem;
    I installed Solaris 10 u4 but it didn't recognise the on-board ethernet, so never asked me for any network configuration info at install-time.
    After the install was complete I added a 3com ethernet card, touch /reconfigure, and rebooted.
    It detects the card at boot but doesn't plumb it.
    I can plumb it fine manually, but it just won't do this itself at boot.
    Is there some way to get this to happen properly?
