MySQL Unable to connect to INTERNET using BSNL Broad band connection on Solaris-x86

Hi,

Iam using BSNL broad band connection and i have installed two OS Xp & Sun solaris -x86 on my machine.Iam able to use INTERNET on windows Xp but not able to do it on solaris x86.

I have tried using DHCP concept as well as sys-unconfig command in solaris but no results.

When i use DHCP concept , iam getting the error as ,

"Failed to configure ipv4 interface lo0
Failed to configure ipv4 using DHCP"

First of all ,when i put the command

ifconfig -a
i can able to see the ip which i configured,but it says virtual address and not the real one.

i have tried several forums based on the INTERNET connection,but it doesn't solve my problem.

Can someone help me on this, as i was trying this for a year.

Thanks,
Jayaprakash.N

No idea about what BSNL is. How is your computer connected to that thing ?
Ethernet ? Wifi ? USB ? Something else ?

Hi

BSNL -one of the service provider in INDIA.

My PC got connected to the internet through the MODEM(which the service provider provides).It is a broad band connection.

Can you please help me in connecting the X86 solaris with the internet.

Thanks,

Doesn't really answer my question. Is it an old style modem (connected to your PC through a serial line) or a xDSL box connected to your PC through ethernet / usb / wifi ?

MySQL Unable to connect to INTERNET using BSNL Broad band connection on Solaris-x86

Hi Everybody,


Sorry for not being there for these days.

I got connected to the internet.Iam able to browse it now.

I have configured all the configuration files which is necessary for the Internet connection ,but the mistake i made is the
/etc/hostname.<interfacename>.

Instead of /etc/hostname.rtls0 i have done wrongly as /etc/hostname.lo0.

But still the GUI interface shows as lo0 (at the bottom right hand corner -Network icon)

But while rebooting the machine, interface name shows as rtls0.

Really i dont understand what is happening here on X86 Solaris version-5.10

But finally i got it, using the interface name rtls0.

Thanks Incredible for your interest,

Regards,
N.Jayaprakash

You can select what interface statistics will be shown by the widget with the properties dialog (right click menu).
