NIC will not work, but it did work.

I have a client machine that was built and loaded with SCO UNIX 2.1.3, (yes it is old). The machine worked fine on the closed network that I tested on in my shop. I then had to change it to the network that it would be connected to. Below is the host file, router and subnet mask file that I usually change to make it work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clt1
IP addresses for all four machines, found in the /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

10.78.4.71 srv1
10.75.13.75 srv2
10.75.13.76 clt1
10.96.14.100 clt2

Router location is found at /etc/inet/config line 4c.
4c:/usr/sbin/route::y::add default 10.75.13.65 1

Subnet mask is found in /etc/confnet.d/inet/interface, 2nd to last line of the file.
lo:0:localhost:/dev/loop::add_loop:
TCM5X9:0::/dev/TCM5X9_0:netmask 255.255.255.192 -trailers::
ee16:0::/dev/ee16_0:-trailers::

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I run netstat -rn I should see something like this:
Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refcnt Use Interface 10.120.10.78 10.120.10.78 UH 0 0 lo0 default 10.120.10.1 UG 3 4549 TCM5X90 10.120.10 10.120.10.78 U 1 822 TCM5X90 # ifconfig -a TCM5X90: flags=23<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS> mtu 1500 inet 10.120.10.78 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.120.10.255 lo0: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 2048 inet 10.120.10.78 netmask ff000000

But when I run it it only come back with the local host, 127.0.0.1. When you run ping it says "Network Unreachable". The NIC does or did work here before shipping, but I had to test on a closed network.

I must be missing something that needs to be changed.
Thanks for the help,
NC user

Sys::Hostname::Long(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Sys::Hostname::Long(3)

NAME
Sys::Hostname::Long - Try every conceivable way to get full hostname SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Hostname::Long; $host_long = hostname_long; DESCRIPTION
How to get the host full name in perl on multiple operating systems (mac, windows, unix* etc) DISCUSSION
This is the SECOND release of this code. It has an improved set of tests and improved interfaces - but it is still often failing to get a full host name. This of course is the reason I wrote the module, it is difficult to get full host names accurately on each system. On some systems (eg: Linux) it is dependent on the order of the entries in /etc/hosts. To make it easier to test I have testall.pl to generate an output list of all methods. Thus even if the logic is incorrect, it may be possible to get the full name. Attempt via many methods to get the systems full name. The Sys::Hostname class is the best and standard way to get the system hostname. However it is missing the long hostname. Special thanks to David Sundstrom and Greg Bacon for the original Sys::Hostname SUPPORT

Unix Most unix systems have trouble working out the fully quallified domain name as it to be configured somewhere in the system correctly.
