Solaris 8 installed-no printer or internet access??

I have installed Solaris 8 OS on intel architecture and finally it works---except for printer and internet access. I found the add printer window but don't know what port it's on??? How do I get printer to work(canon bjc2100)Also have installed network card since S8 OS installation but can't access internet----how please???
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

The parallel port should be something like <tt>/dev/lp1</tt> (old
device name), or
<tt>/dev/printers/0</tt> (newer device name, I think this appeared
when solaris 8 started to support USB printers). Do you see such
devices on your system?
If these devices do not exist:
Interrupt the boot process with ESC to enter the "Device
configuration assistant" (DCA), do you see the parallel port listed in the hardware list on the second screen?
If the parallel port hardware is listed in the DCA, continue booting,
and boot with the kernel with the "-r" flag. The "-r" performs a
"reconfiguration boot" and the /dev/lp* or /dev/printers/* devices
should be created.
If the printer port is listed in the DCA hardware list,
and the reconfiguration boot did <b>not</b> create the unix
printer devices, and the command <tt>prtconf -Dv | grep lp</tt>
does not print <tt>lp (driver name: lp)</tt>, you may be running
into the solaris 8 ACPI bug (bug id 4344312). This bug results in
non-working on board hardware when using certain combinations of
main boards and bios versions; often seen on boards using VIA
south bridge chipsets. In that case have a look at http://www.tools.de/solaris/via/ for a possible solution.

  • Solution for installing Blackberry apps without internet access

    Have the 8330 which has bluetooth but not WiFi.  Just read and article at: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-apps-f35/h​owto-install-apps-without-bis-57032/    I write to inquire if any knowledgeable  members have read this and is this a plausible solution. 
    I would like to try it but the script but I find that one must replace the app name with the name of the one of interest.  In this case I am interested in the audible.com audiobook player.  My first question would be "How does one know the precise app name that would work...  there could be many variations.  Hoping for a short dialog with someone that can comment on such things.

    Yes, I've loaded apps that way in the past.

  • Internet access from Solaris 10 server

    HI
    we have Sparc T-4 servers running solaris 10. i need one of the servers to be able to reach to Internet. However i am not able to even ping 8.8.8.8 .
    i am able to browse internet using firefox after i changed the proxy settings in the browser.
    can some one help in steps to configure internet access.  i am installing Ops Center and it needs connectivity to reach to My Oracle Support over Ineter Net.
    thanks
    -Muneer

    If you are able to browse with Firefox on your server then Internet works.
    If you have some troubles with Ops Center, you should certainly configure the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY variables and in this case I suggest to push your question in the Ops Center community : Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center (MOSC)

  • Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

    For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

    The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
    Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
    You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
    The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
    Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

  • Temporarily disable Digital Signature Checks to Install MS SQL Server 2008 with no Internet Access

    I am attempting to install a licensed copy of MS SQL Server 2008 in a Private Enclave that does NOT have Internet access on a Win2008 R2 SP1 server (that is VM - thus I can't reboot and press F8 to select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
    ). The installation fails with an error of the vc_red.cab file being found either corrupt or a bad digital signature.  The file is good, but the signature has an expiration of 2011.   I understand that a DOTNET SDK v1.1 program called setreg.exe
    will enable disabling the digital signature check, but I am not permitted to use that program. 
    I might be permitted to use the "Signtool.exe" utility, but it is not clear what command sequences are necessary to disable and then re-enable the Digital Signature checks.
    I saw a thread that recommended using the command:
    bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
    However, the comments indicated that this might not have worked.
    Are there Registry settings I can use with regedit to make the necessary changes to be able to install the application?  I anticipate running into this problem with other software when I do not have Internet connectivity.   I already tried
    downloading the Microsoft CRL files; updated the lists on the Server; and rebooted.  This did not solve my problem.  

    Hi,
    As far as I know, it is not recommended to disable digital signature check.
    Since we are not familair with installing MS SQL server, please also refer to SQL forums below to see if experts there have more insights regarding the matter.

  • How can I install a jre on client machines with no Internet Access

    Hi
    I have a lot of client machines located throughout the country which are connected to a central network (Oracle) application server. The client machines do not have internet access. The application now uses an applet which is accessible from the network. I would like to use the <jsp:plugin> tag to automatically download and install a jre on the client browsers that don't have a jre installed, when they access the jsp page. Unfortunately, even using iepluginurl="http://server-address/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab, the client machines still need to access the internet to install the JRE as the cab file needs to access files at the Sun site.
    Is there any online jre installer, that can be used on a network where the client machines do not have internet access? Or do I need to install the JRE manually on each machine? The browsers are all Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks for your reply ChuckBing.
    Unfortunately I had already copied the instructions I found in the Sun documentaion to the letter and it still needed access to the internet. In the end I solved the problem by pointing the iepluginurl to a non existent file and putting a URL, pointing to an offline JRE executable on the server, as the message that appears when the applet cannot be loaded. The clients then have the choice of downloading the JRE or installing it online by clicking on the URL.
    Thanks anyway.
    David

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • What are the implications for installing Creative Suite applications when there is no internet access?

    I need to install Creative Suite on a network that has no internet access. Various FAQs indicate that you must be on line to active, but there you can create a package that doesn't require on line access for activation. However, if an off-line package is used, does the application still need access to the internet for continued use?

    The Adobe CC can work as desktop app without internet for up to 90 days once activated by being online & signing up the account with your Adobe ID .
    You need to log in online once in 90 days.
