Eth & Internet Connection. Solaris 10
807559Apr 21 2007 — edited Apr 23 2007Hi,
Just installed solaris 10 under vmware workstation 5.5, and after the first run got ifconfig -a as follows:
lo0: bla bla 127.0.0.1
e1000g0: bla bla inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.255
The lower-right icon showed warning mark on the connection icon
I tried few things, but had to reboot (after restoring /etc/hosts to original and basically everything as was before).
After reboot ifconfig -a just shows:
lo0: bla bla 127.0.0.1
/etc/hosts shows:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost <my host name>
ifconfig -a plumb doesn't do anything
on boot i see 2 messages regarding this issue:
1. Failed to configure IPv4 interface(s) : pcn0
2. Faiiled to plumb IPv4 interface ....
I have eth card on my pc. in winXP having inet 192.168.0.1 connected to home network on 255.255.255.0. Also having Internet connection under ip 84.x.x.x and the solaris 10 configured to have DHCP
My questions:
1. How do I configure ETH (vmware is in "bridge" mode for ETh), and then see my home network ?
2. How do I connect to the internet ?
I am sorry to say that i work on solaris os for the last 6 years as a C++ Programmer and still doesn't know basic admin issues, but never late to start :)).. anyhow help will be appriciated.
