Have just installed Solaris 8 x86. The NIC is not displayed when I do an ifconfig -a. I only get the loopback address. How can I get the NIC to display so I can setup the rest of the network files? Thanks gelder

After the config assistant has run and installed the miniroot, a reboot is required to complete the installation. The assistant asks that the disks be removed and the system be rebooted. After this is done and the system rebooted, the system displays the error: boot: source: open of...

I power the two intel pcs down to save energy and wear and tear. They are old units with p-120 and p-166mx processors. my /etc/hostname.elxl0 was correct, but your suggestion prompted me to go back and check my other files. And sure enough, my /etc/inet/hosts files on both machines were wrong...

Ok, that did the trick. I changed the netmask to 255.255.255.0. I can now telnet and rlogin between the two machines. Just one problem. Each day when I power up the two machines, I have to do the ifconfig elxl0 intel166/intel120 up on both machines. Any ideas? I can deal with this if I have to...

Yes, I have been rebooting each time I make a change. These are the results of running ifconfig and netstat -r on intel120 and intel166. intel120: ifconfig elxl0 plumb (no response) ifconfig elxl0 intel120 up ifconfig: setifflags: SIOCSLIFFLAGS: elxl0: cannot assign requested address netstat...

Thanks for the quick response. I have corrected the /etc/hostname.elxl. I am not sure if I renamed the /etc/hostname.interfaces file properly either. There were two different entries under /devices. elxl and elxl0. I dont belive I want the pseudo entry of elx. But, really dont know. Now, the...

I have two Intel PCs running Solaris 8 and am trying to network them together for training purposes. During installation on each system, I selected "non-networked" system because I didn't know what to enter for IP address and subnet (and still don't). I had read that the files could be...
