Solaris

I have just installed Solaris 10 X86 today, but I can't use internet at all on it.

When I was installing it, it only asked me to create a hostname, without even asking me this computer is "networked" or "non-networked".
After I finished installation, I use "netstat -rn" command, and only see the 127.0.0.1 gate way.

I checked the gateway from windows installed on this computer, it should be 129.49.48.1, but when I tried to ping 129.49.48.1 from solaris, it says it's unreachable. So I can't add any routers or interfaces other than this 127.0.0.1 one.

How can I fix this problem? And be able to link to the Internet?

Is this because that my Ethernet Card is not compatible with Solaris 10?
My Network Card is: Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCIExpress Gigabit Ethernet NIC. My CPU is Intel 9550.

By the way, I tried many times to install solaris with the x86 dvd, but it never succeds to boot with this CD, the computer always go to Windows directly. I can only install with the 5+2 CDs... I am wondering if anyone else have encountered the same problem?

I think If installation didn't ask about "networked" and "non-networked", this means you need to search for the driver for that network interface.

i run sol10x86 on a mixture of hardware. obviously the best way to build your box is to look through the sun sol10x86 HCL. however, for your network interface, check out the following command. i've done it on my sol10x86 box at home.

Code:

-bash-3.00# dladm show-dev
rtls0           link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
elxl1           link: unknown   speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: unknown

you'll be able to plumb up the one you want if dladm show-dev has actually registered a network interface.

You can run this tool from windows on your machine:
BigAdmin HCL: Sun Device Detection Tool

It will tell you what drivers are available for your hardware and should tell you there is no internal Solaris support for your NIC but there is a third party driver (gani) available there
