Hi,
I am new to Solaris administration.
I recently bought a Sun Solaris blade 100, and installed Solaris 10 on that... i edited the configuration files with the following info
which i got from XP on my laptop.

IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

/etc/hostname.hme0

myhost

copied nsswitch.dns to nsswitch.conf

ifconfig -a

#something like this
hme0 flags.....................
inet 24.16.56.197 netmask fffff000 broadcast 24.16.63.255




i am still not able to connect to internet. ping www.sun.com(or any IP) times out. nslookup times out.
I am able to ping the sun server from my laptop. but the reverse is not working.
i tried pinging the defaultrouter, even that is getting timed out.

I havent setup dhcp on the sun server.. i dont even know if i have to set it up. i am having comcast cable internet connection, and i am using cross cable to connect to net

Can someone help me fix my problem please?
