I connect to my SunBlade [on Solaris 9] using the keyboard/mouse provided by the sun. Now I would like to connect to it using my dell laptop running on Windows 7.
I have connected the laptop to the SunBlade using just a one crossover 9-pin connector [Without Router] using the free/basic version of the terminal client [AbsoluteClient].
But does not seem to work even though I have set the
AbsoluteClient hostname -> SunBlade ip addredd from /etc/hosts
AbsoluteClient port -> the port from /etc/services
Entries in /etc/services
---------------------
telnet 90/tcp
telnet 90/udp
I have also added the laptop ip address in /etc/hosts.
1. IP address assignment -> Done
2. Can you ping the blade from the laptop -> No , Request Timed out error
3. Is the telnet service running (on port 90?) -> yes, it was 23, I changed to 90 in /etc/services

The question I have is, do I need a router or is a RJ45 [network cable] cable connection between laptop and the SunBlade be enough for a telnet connection ?
If it can talk to a router, it can talk to you instead. But you need to know what it's configured for and be on the same subnet, etc. This is all just basic networking.
Try port 23 again? I'm not sure /etc/services actually defines what port telnet uses.

You don't want or need a router, but you do need an Ethernet Hub or an Ethernet Switch which can handle the normal speed of the fastest interface. The cabling then would be two normal pin-to-pin RJ45 cables.
No reason to change the port for telnet - it only makes thing complicated.
From Windows 7, just try the supplied command-line telnet first before introducing 3rd-party software.
As Corona688 hinted, make sure that the IP addresses chosen are on the same IP network.
No need for a router if they are on the same IP network.
Further to Corona688, the port definitions in /etc/services are purely documentary.
Hello everybody,

Question,
when adding memory to a SunBlade 100, are you required to add it in matched pairs? My current box has 2 x 256mb sticks of PC-133 ram. I tried adding 1 512mb sticks and the system failed to come up. I saw at Sunsolve that you can mix and match different sized memory. (5 Replies)
