DHCP Internet probleams
I have earthlink DSL and my SPARC 5 system is connected through a cable to my wireless netgear router. I dont have an account name, i dont have a domain name, I get my IP adress dynamically from my ISP, and I dont have a DNS Name but i do have 2 DNS IP adresses.


Can someone plz help me set up my internet?

Im using Solaris 8

earthlink.net ...

... thing is though ... some isps do register mac addresses so that might stop your box from fully getting into the net ...

btw, what exactly did not work? did you follow all the steps or did you skip some?

An error occurred while trying to set the IP address 192.168.0.7 on the network interface.
