  • There is no OpenSolaris 10.
  • Can your machine communicate with the outside ?
  • How do you want to access your machine ?

Hi jlliagre,

def there is open solaris 10 and am confident here since i have installed it.My question to everyone is that i am abel to ping the machine but unable to access it on a network.eg. Say i am in building "A" and the machine is on building "B" then i need to access it through a network.All the IP settings have been done using sys-unconfig.

Great! Please post the link to OpenSolaris 10. I have only been able to find the link to Solaris10

Thanks.

There is not and never will. There is "close Solaris 10" and "OpenSolaris" based distributions which will lead to "Solaris 11" or something else depending on various factors.
Please post the content of your "/etc/release" file to clarify what you are using.

If you ping the machine, you are accessing it on a network. Please clarify what protocol you are failing to use.

Please elaborate on your network settings. It is hard to tell without you providing any clue.

That is not a link to "Open Solaris 10".... Open Solaris 10 does not exist.

The current release of OpenSolaris is called:

OpenSolaris 2009.06

See attached.

Now, please tell us the IP address you are connecting from other machine in your network as well as the way you are trying to connect ( I mean: ssh,telnet etc).

Thanks,
Deepak
