Someone suggested i post my solaris questions to this list. I hope I am in
the right place. Let me preface by saying I am a hobbyist and trying to
build a home network to allow for the use of sun rays. the hardware i have
is: spracstation 5 to run as a proxy server. ultra5 for main desktop and of
course one sun ray for now. the ss5 has 2 NICs and one is a working dhcp
for inbound from a cable modem and off the shelf gateway/firewall. unless i
find a better application i plan to install squid on the ss5.
my problem is on the ss5. i can get the network up on the second card,
however, it is not assigning the IP i have set in /etc/hosts. ifconfig -a
shows the interface plumbed but no IP address is assigned. i have followed
the instructions on this link: http://www.spitzner.net/interfaces.html . is
this still a valid way to set the network parameters? maybe i have edited
the files wrong. i just followed examples given in the specific files.
the primary interface on the ss5 has connection to the outside world.
thanks for any help.
