how to link x86 Solaris 10 system to the Internet?
Hi, I have an x86 Solaris system linked on the network at work. We have DSL, and all the Windows PC's on this network can access the Internet with no problems.
On my x86 Solaris, I am trying to use commands such as "wget" to access to the outside world, and it's not working. How do I configure this x86 so that it can communicate to the outside world, so I can use "wget"? Thanks.

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

nca.if
nca.if(4) File Formats nca.if(4)
NAME
nca.if - the NCA configuration file that specifies physical interfaces
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nca/nca.if
DESCRIPTION
Specify the physical interfaces for which the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator ("NCA") feature will be configured in the nca.if con-
figuration file. List the physical interfaces in the file, one per line. To configure NCA to listen on all physical interfaces present on
the system backed by a hostname.{interface_name}, then list only an asterik ("*") in nca.if.
When the ncakmod(1) initialization script is invoked during system boot, it will attempt to configure each physical interface specified in
the nca.if file by using ncaconfd(1M). Note that there must be an accompanying hostname.{interface_name} file and an entry in /etc/hosts
for the contents of hostname.{interface_name}.
You must reboot in order to implement changes to the nca.if file.

All Platforms
Example 3 Configuring NCA to Listen on All Physical Interfaces
The following example shows the contents of an nca.if file that would be used to configure either platform to listen on all physical inter-
faces present on the system:
*
FILES
/etc/nca/nca.if Lists the physical interfaces on which NCA will run.
/etc/hostname.{}{0-9} Lists all physical interfaces configured on the server.
/etc/hosts Lists all host names associated with the server. Entries in this file must match with entries in /etc/host-
name.{}{0-9} for NCA to function.
