Can't connect to Internet
Dear freinds...

I downloaded solaris for x86 and was able to configure the lan correctly.. I can ping and share with other destops through lan... but still I can't connect to internet ? can you please help..

I put my default gateway which is 192.168.1.1 to /etc/defaultrouter but with no use..

My ip is 192.168.1.100

please advise

if you use the search function, you should find tons of information for this topic...

the key should be the dns configuration. edit the files
/etc/resolv.conf
and
/etc/nsswitch.conf
with the correct settings!

best,
DN2

thank you for your response...

Yes, I read about these files, but I still dont know how should I configure the /etc/nsswitch.conf file... ?

----

cat /etc/resolv.conf
server1 192.168.1.1

is this ok also ? my hostname is server1

thank you

/etc/resolv.conf should contain line like that:
Code:
nameserver 192.168.1.100

where 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of your DNS server.

edit the nsswitch.conf file. look for the line with:

Code:
hosts: files

add dns at the end of this line to enable dns lookup for hosts on your machine.

more information can be found here: Enabling a Machine to Use DNS (Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide) - Sun Microsystems

Simply, run the command:

Code:
#cp /etc/nsswitch.dns   /etc/nsswitch.conf

Thanks,

Many many thanks...

It works now :-) ....

But now every time I restart my solaris I have to run "ifconfig gani0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 ...

where can I insert this command so that it runs automatically each time I restart my pc ??

Many thanks again
