Thanks for the prompt replies!

The clarification about the domains was most helpful.

Just curious, in regards to:

Quote:

If you want to sucessful configure network support, your hostname must resolve, you must have a working name service that is able to resolve your machine hostname... if you don't have this situation, don't choose to configure the DNS ( choose "None" when asked ) at the installation process, do it later

How would a person reslove their hostname if they had only 1 computer running Unix connected directly to interet? (Would the DHCP server of the ISP provide the DNS information? If do why doesn't my gateway with DNS installed so the same thing?)

I am currently reading through the DHCP guide linked above in an attmpt to configure my unixbox as a DHCP client of my 2000 box gateway.

I reinstalled solaris choosing not to select a reolution method as you reccomended. I specified an IP address on the same network as the 2000 box's local network card. I unfortunately still cannot ping my unixbox from the 2000 machine and I find this odd. (2000 machine 192.168.1.10 subnet 255.255.255.0, unixbox 192.168.1.100 subnet 255.255.255.0)

Does unix not assign an IP address if it cannot resolve the hostname?

Perhaps I have a more baisc problem, although it appeared the unix installation recognized my 3com integrated NIC, maybe it did not. I'll have to read up on how to check the current network configuration.

UPDATE:

discovered "# ifconfig -a " gets me the interface name of my NIC.

All that is displayed is lo0 127.0.0.1 the loopback address, does this mean my NIC is not recognized?

NAME

       pbuilder-uml.conf - configuration file for user-mode-linux port of pbuilder

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/pbuilder/pbuilder-uml.conf contains default values used in pbuilder-user-mode-linux program invocation.

FORMAT

       MY_ETH0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.2
	      Configures ethernet setting used for booting linux.  See how rootstrap boots your system, and copy that.

	      Specify --eth0=slirp,12345,/usr/bin/slirp-fullbolt to use the slirp connection.

       UML_IP=192.168.0.3
	      IP address to use for guest OS.

	      This can be set to dhcp for obtaining IP address through DHCP.

       UML_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
	      Guest OS netmask

       UML_NETWORK=192.168.0.0
	      Guest OS network

       UML_BROADCAST=255.255.255.255

	      Whether to mount tmpfs inside the guest image.  This is probably mostly useless.

       BUILDPLACE=${HOME}/tmp/

	      needs to be able to access that directory.

	      The amount of memory allowed for UML.  Give more value to here.

       UML_HOSTNAME=uml-host
	      The hostname for the UML.

	      The hostname should be available in /etc/hosts so that hostname -f will be able to return the FQDN.

       UML_BUILDRESULT=/directory/of/build/result
	      The directory where build result of pbuilder-user-mode-linux is stored.

       ROOTSTRAP_IMAGESIZE=size-in-megabytes
