Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me how to setup internet on solaris10, b72?

I own an airtel broadband, with a beetel 220BXI modem.
I am new to solaris so was wondering as to how it can be done?

Thanks

Can you tell more about what these things are and how do you connect them ?

wifi ? ethernet ?

i connect through ethernet

Then just use dhcp and you are done, assuming your NIC is supported.

hi, sorry to bump, but it is relevant...

I am also needing a pointer in the right direction...

I have just installed Solaris for the very first time (Solaris 10), and am having difficulty setting up IP numbers and gateway.

The Network card I assume is correctly installled (as the icon appears in the bottom right hand corner).

I have Googled this issue and have pretty much followed instructions as to how to change the settings, but one issue I can't follow is changing the /etc/defaultrouter as this file doesn't exist on my system.

Is there no GUI to easily change this? or have i been using Windows for too long??

I've also seen comments that I should run user/sbin/sys-unconfig but not sure how to even do this...

SO... any help (ideally step by step instructions) would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Edit : I will be using static IP's, not DHCP, the setup will be

PC's IP = 172.26.0.44
Router/Gateway = 172.26.0.1

Thanks

if the file is not existent... touch it... edit it... and you are done!

you need this files:
/etc/hostname.*name of your nic* (put the mashine name in this file)
/etc/hosts (enter the ip and the mashinename in ONE row)
/etc/defaultrouter (put the ip of your router in the file)

reboot the mashine and see if it works!
