new office - no network connection!

colesy · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2003

We have just moved offices and in the same week recieved a SUN box from another company site.

I'm attemting to connect this SUN box to the network, but i can't see it on the network.

I have modified the /etc/host file with the IP i want to attribute to the box, rebooted, but still nothing.

I have checked the netmask and this is what i expect it to be.

Also i've modified resolv.conf to contain the nameserver IP, but still nothing.

Has anyone got any checks i should go through to network this box, or ideas to what i have missed?

Thanks
Richard
