Ultra 10 + Solaris 10, Ethernet adapter not displaying

Ok please bear with me as I'm a total newbie when it comes to sun hardware and solaris.
The ethernet adapter on my Ultra 10 doesn't show up in ifconfig -a and neither does it show up in the GUI tool. The only thing showing is the loopback lo0.
How can I assign an IP to my ethernet adapter? Is there some sort of command to start the interface? Maybe in the terminal before solaris boots or in solaris itself?

Hi guys I just wanna say thanks for all the excellent replies but I've managed to solve the problem. I didn't choose the correct networking options during installation and it seems thats what was causing it.
It took me so long to reply because I keep the box in college and its been the easter break here for the past 2 weeks and I've not actually had access to the machine.
I'm using it for my project where i have to set up a fully functioning network. the box is up and running XAMPP with Apache, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin and ProFTPd. I hope I can set up sendmail and squirrelmail in the same way I have done at home on my Fedora Linux virtual machine.

Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting on MacBook Pro Retina

I recently purchased the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter to connect to my 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to a hardwired internet connection for faster downloads. However, when I connect the ethernet cord to the adapter nothing happens and only the wifi connection is identified.
Ethernet or Thunderbolt Ethernet are not an option in the System Preference > Network. Also, either connection are options when trying to add a network interface ( System Preferences > Network > + > Interface).
I have tried several fixes like Resetting PRAM or Removing Network Preferences File. The NetworkInferences.plist and Preferences.plist files did get recreated after reboot, but only the WIFI interface shows up.

I am sure the Thunderbolt ports are functional since I am able to connect my display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Could I have corrupted the Network Preference File or is could the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter damaged?
Please help.

I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
or
Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

Since upgrading to Yosemite mu USB 3 to Ethernet adapter not working

I just recently (earlier today) upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 from Mavericks and now my USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter is not working. I see a bunch of people complaining about this online but I can't follow the solutions. They seem to be playing with plist files and kext files but I am not sure what to do. Any help on getting this resolved would be greatly appreciate.
Let me know what information is needed.
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7. It is Model MacBookPro11,3 which is a Retina 15". I bought it February of this year.

Well, the issue with USB anything is that the device manufacturers have to supply compatible drivers. Check with CableMatters for an updated driver.

Ethernet adapter not working

The ethernet adapter or port on my PowerBook G4 17 inch has fizzled out. Does anyone know where I can get another and how difficult it is to install?

I think the ethernet port is on the logic board so replacing that would be pretty grim. Cost aside, PowerBooks are not a cakewalk when it comes to getting inside, lots of little screws to sort plus some very delicate connectors that, if broken, require a nerw logic board.
The least expensive option, if your CardBus slot is working is to get an ethernet card for it. This site shows four, although they are getting harder to find:
Cardbus slot ethernet adaptors
You'll have to check with the vendor or manufacturer to see if the cardbus adaptors are Mac-compatible.

Oracle Apps adapter not displaying any Business Events

Hello
We have configured a Business Event in Oracle ebs R12 instance. Now we are trying to configure Oracle Apps Adapter in Oracle Jdeveloper. The version is 11.1.1.3.
The apps adapter wizard; after connecting to the ebs instance; does not display any tables/Business events.
The connection to the ebs instance is done by a normal user i.e. 'apps' user credentials are not used. We are not provided with 'apps' user credentials due to security reasons. We need help in figuring out the privileges that shld be granted to the 'normal' user so that we can browse and select the Business event in Jdeveloper and also the apps adapter can create the subscriptions and queues successfully in ebs.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi Ruplim,
I am new to this topic and dont really know how to go about this. So can i assume from your post that the oracle apps adapter can subscribe to an event in EBS. If yes, can you tell me how i can do this?
Thanks

Elitepad -ethernet adapter not detected

I have an Elitepad 900 running Win 8.1. When I connect an Ethernet adapter (H3N49AA) absolutely nothing happens. The tablet does not see the hardware at all let alone allow me to configure the network settings for it. The device does not appear in Control Panel/Device Manager.
Are there some drivers I'm missing? I've installed the Win8.1 driver pack and any other Softpaqs I can find

Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting

I have spent the last two weeks scanning every single forum and every response in regards to this very question above and none have worked.
Issue:
I am running a MBA mid 2012 on OS X 10.8.3. It is a new device. I have tried to update all thunderbolt drivers and get the regular "not supported or not compatible" because all firmware/software is up to date . I changed location settings in network adapter but nothing happens. I have done an SMC and PRAM reset but again nothing. I can see the port recognises my thunderbolt adapter (Apple standard) and shows it to be connected. I am using the same ethernet cable / settings on my standard desktop PC so i know the routing and cables are fine.
I see so many issues with the thunderbolt connection online so clearly something is a miss. I have VMWare fusion 5 installed if that helps also.
I would go to a genius bar with this but im stuck on an island in the middle of the atlantic ocean so impossible!
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter NOT DISPLAYING ON EXTERNAL SCREEN

Hello!
Mid 2012 MacBook Pro
Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro, I have connected a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter in order to watch movies on a HP w19e LCD display.
Ive been using this adapter for a year now and I have never had any problems with it, until now...whenever I connect it to my mac's display turns black, and nothing happens, so I wait and the LCD display shows the unfurtunate NO SIGNAL message, so I wait a little longer and still nothing happens, I unplug the Mini DisplayPort and plug it back in, and nothing happens, and when I say nothing happens I mean nothing happens, my mac's display is black as if it was in sleep mode, I get no signal on the HP LCD and I can't get my computer's display to show image again, the only way to do it is to force restart it.
I looked up the problem and I found a forum with a possible solution for it and did as it said.
1) Restart the computer in Safe Mode with display attached (shut down and restart while holding down shift key).
The display showed up without distortion.
2) Change the display to my desired preferences (dimensions and refresh rate).
3) Restart computer. ...and it works like a charm.
I followed the directions and it worked... but after I restar to go back to um.. normal mode, the problem is back.
Please I need my LCD screen how can I fix this.
I hope I didn't confuse anyone, sorry for my english
THANK YOU

I'm having the same problem. When I try to connect to the switch in our conference room (connecting both a flat panel display and/or a projector, both with much higher native resolutions), all I get is 640x480. This is a huge problem to using bootcamp, and I really need to get this to work. I was able to get a higher resolution 1280x800 on a separate, portable display, so I'm wondering if people have the problem with standalone projectors or only with projectors connected to some sort of switch, in my case an Extron MPX423A. I have also tried this in both Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows 7 RC1 (32-bit), with the bootcamp drivers and the latest NVidia drivers, and the behavior is the same all around.

Ethernet adapter not working with new Mac Mini after NetRestore.

I'm currently working with an issue regarding Mini 4,1s and their difference from the main driver set in 10.6.4. I'm in an educational environment and attempting to effectively netrestore a hard drive image that was built on a Mini 3,1 with all possible updates made to the OS (10.6.4).
The new minis have no problem netbooting, and downloading the disc image from the server *over ethernet*. In fact, they do it in a very rapid fashion. The issue is that once the machines boot up, they no longer have ethernet capabilities. In fact, the ethernet device does not even appear in system profiler at all. After reading quite a lot about this problem, it appears that there is a difference in the driver set on the special "Mid-2010 Mini 4,1" update and the driver set found in a normal 10.6.4 install.
I have attempted various permutations of installing the Mid-2010 update, but most of them include having an existing 10.6.4 install that was not built on the Mini, and attempting to install the update over the install, or replacing the driver in suspect itself. The issue persists.
Is there something I'm missing, and is this a common problem?
tl;dr: non mac mini 10.6.4 installation copied on mac mini 4,1, and ethernet drivers don't work.

Thanks for your suggestion, I cloned my 1.83GHZ Mac Mini's main drive with Carbon Copy Cloner and restored it onto a new 2.4GHZ Mac Mini. Since the new Mac was replacing the older one's mother ship role in my HTPC setup, this method would ensure the easiest transition. Everything works fine, except that ethernet wont work, it did before, but doesn't now. I already tried several confirmed-working-by-me cables and no luck.
I tried your step and understand the logic behind them, but as soon as I replaced my files with the ones you suggested from my 2.4GHZ Mac Install Disc, the system reports some conflicts. I repaired permissions after and before this happens (tried twice, once after successfully restoring via Tim Machine) and still it occurred. After reboot Ethernet was still dead and so was WiFi. Luckily I was able to get everything back to normal by replacing the entire Extensions folder with the one prior to the changes. Restoring the two files alone would not do it.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

ACD Monitor / DVI Adapter not Displaying

I just purchased an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition and installed it in my Quicksilver as the original card stopped working (lotsa noises coupled with no display on ACD or DVI monitor). I also purchased Apple's DVI to ADC adapter to connect it to my Apple LCD monitor.
After installing the card and hooking up the adapter, the monitor's white power button comes on, but there's only a black screen. I've hooked up another DVI monitor to the Quicksilver and can confirm the new video card is working. I've tried using the ACD monitor with the adapter on a PowerBook, and the laptop recognizes there's a second monitor, but there is still the black screen. If I push the power button on the monitor while connected to the laptop, then disconnect the monitor, the "Do you want to shut down your computer?" dialog box has popped up on the laptop's screen, so it would seem that there's at least communication between the computer and monitor. Unfortunately, I don't have any other ADC compatible computers to test the monitor independently, but have had no problems with it prior to the old video card going bad.
Could the adapter or monitor be bad, or is there something else that could be interfering with the operation?

(dual running the DVI adapted ADC and a VGA (as main) right now)
No luck with the reset. I got a garbled screen in place of the Apple loading screen, but then it started up fine. Still displays on the VGA, but black on the ADC monitor. Apple System Profiler shows this under Graphics/Displays if it is of any help:

Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter

So There is now no onboard Gig Ethernet on the new MacBook Pros but Apple will produce a Thunderbolt adapter.
The question is how well will it perform? Will it be fast, support jumbo frames etc?
I must admit I am skepical over the performance for such a small device. Surely if you try and put the performance of a card such as an Intel Pro1000 based unit into such a small device it will get hot? On the other hand, maybe some of the Ethernet capabilities are built into the MBP motherboard and the adapter (given that it's so cheap) merely acts as a connector.
I guess we will find out if it uses some motherboard based technology when it ships and somebody tries to use it on a Mac Mini or earlier Thunderbolt equipped MacBook Pro.

It is a TB-to-Ethernet adapter, not an Ethernet-to-TB adapter. There are protocol issues, too. A TB-to-Ethernet adapter takes Ethernet frames in/out and passes them to your Mac's TB bridge (you can see it in System Preferences -> Network). The Ethernet port/driver cannot convert ethernet frames into TB packets.
Why not directly plug (and also daisy chain) TB devices directly with the TB port on your computer, if it already has one?

Thunderbolt gig ethernet adapter

Hey all, I was hoping someone may have a possible solution for an issue I ran into this morning. We have some thunderbolt gig ethernet adapters to use with our MacBook Air's. When you plug this in as a standard user it will recognize the new interface, but will need an administrator to apply the change. This, however, is rather inconvenient. I can use networksetup to create a new service, but this will only work once the adapter is plugged in.
All MacBook Air's (mid 2013) on 10.8.5 with latest updates
Any idea's or suggestions?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it
