configuring network infomation
Hello all,
I am trying to hit the internet from my unix box (sun 250e), but cannot reach any external IP addresses.
I've updated the hosts and resolv.conf files with what i assume is the right information, but nothing happens (after reboot). In the hosts file, i've entered the Router, PDC, and DNS server addresses...but nothing.
I'm a novice at the networking side of things, and could do with a pointer - or some reading material that will help too.
Thanks
Richard

Hello,
I was trying to assign IP or Hostname to the system, but when I open any of the files:
/etc/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
the files open in read-only mode. Thus, I can't edit it. I am doing this under root. What is the problem and how to get rid? Any suggestion? (8 Replies)

tion of more complex configurations.
There is currently no support for enterprise name services such as YP/NIS, NIS+ or LDAP. There is also no support for anything but the
global zone.
