Hello! I'm having trouble getting this to work so I ask kindly if I can get some help to get it to work, please :).
I installed Solaris 10 (nov 06) on a laptop and I been trying to get it to connect to the router (wired connection) and it doesn't work.
I have a 2wire 2700HG router that has 4 ethernet ports on the back so I simply grabbed an Ethernet cable and plugged it in.
Router address is 192.168.1.254
I go ahead and edit /etc/hosts to :
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost Warturtle
192.168.1.83 Warturtle
I then create /etc/resolv.conf (It wasn't there so I made it) and add this line:
nameserver 192.168.1.254
I also go into /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/nsswitch.dns and set hosts and ipnodes to files dns
I can't ping the router at all and the ethernet cable has orange and yellow colors in the laptop ethernet connector.
Here's some output I thought would be helpfull:
# ifconfig -a
