Thank you ! It is done...and restarted.

How can I know the IP address of this PC?
what else must be done to open any website from Solaris PC - It gives an error while tried in mozilla ... "The connection was refused when attempting to contact site"

Pls advice.

Firstly, do

Code:
ifconfig -a

that should list all IP addresses attached to devices

Then do

Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf

that should show you how your name resolving is working.

Try some host, for example

Code:
nslookup www.unix.com

to see if name resolving works.

if that returns a valid IP address then try

Code:
traceroute ip-address

ifconfig -a could give me a IP address ... thank you

Yes, the entries of DNS in /etc/resolv.conf are valid too

nslookup www.unix.com - Gave an error ** Server can't find www.unix.com : NXDOMAIN

Please suggest.

Ok... I modifed little more correct entries in /etc/resolv.conf file and I get below output.
#nslookup www.unix.com
Server: 10.68.XXX.XXX
Address: 10.68.XXX.XXX#53
Non-authoritative answer:
name: www.unix.com
address: 81.17.XXX.XXX

Then I gave #traceroute 81.17.XXX.XXX
and it showed few lines... and then showing * * * I dont understand what it is.

I am still not able to open a webpage through browser.

Please suggest.
