I'm on bellsouth.net through a Win98 box with a USB DSL modem. I have the Win98 box set up for Internet Connection Sharing. Other Win boxes can surf, download, ftp, and other things through this setup.
I have set up a Solaris 8 Intel box and have got the networking somewhat working. I can ping by IP or name from the solaris box. However, Netscape will not connect. It looks for awhile and then times out. I cannot ftp either such as from ftp.suse.com. It times out also.
/etc/resolv.conf contains .........
"nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" bellsouth DNS servers
"nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
/etc/nsswitch.conf has .............
"hosts files dns"
/etc/defaultrouter has ..............
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" IP of Win98 box
/etc/hosts has ..........................
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx win98_box
What am I missing and how do I fix it.
Thanks
