Getting Solaris machine into Network
I have installed solaris x86 on a standalone PC. Now I have connected a LAN cable to it. What do I do next for further configuration or to access internet from that solaris machine?

Are you going to use static or DHCP configuration?

The normal approach is to do sysunconfig then reconfigure.

What is static, DHCP, sysunconfig? I want the machine to have an IP address and use Internet in it - which must automatically be flowing after connecting the cable.

Pls advice.

What is your network configuration?

What network will your machine plug into?

Is there a DHCP server which dynamically allocates IP addresses?

Have you been told on an IP address you must use?

Are you on a network that is going through a NAT router?

How are names going to be resolved?

Which name server are you going to use?

Which version of Solaris are you using?

9 or 10 will happily use DHCP.

Want to configure DHCP client using sys-unconfig

It is Solaris 10 8/07 s10x_u4wos_12b X86

I went through given link - But not very clear.

Should I just run command /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig and reboot ?
