Ok here goes, this MCSE is now fed up with MS, they are telling me that my Legal XP has a s/num they didnt issue.
After countless emails I am P with them and am loooking for a new OS.
Tried Linux, got it working but seems too flaky for me.
Have installed Solaris 10 X86 (on a temp pc AMD Athlon 1.3 GHZ ) but I am wondering if its small 16mB video card may not be enough for X Windows.
Two things, my Internet connection is on a Windows PC with Inet sharing set up. The Linus PC worked just fine but cant get the Solaris to work.
I suspect it is because I have not got a default gateway set up.
HOW do I reconfigure the O/S to set one up.
Also on logging in from the console X will not start, I have been able to start it by going into the X11 directory and typing (GRM) I think.
I have run the setup program and all seems fine, also you get to see the colours OK.
Sorry to be a bit vague but I have limited experience with Unix type systems.
Thanks
Mike
