Hi,

I have four systems at home (Home network), out of which Solaris 8 On Intel platform(With Realtek 8139 PCI Fast ethernet card) and one Pentium(windows 98 operating System, 192.168.0.3, Ip address assigned by router) connected through hub to Netgear router RP114 and other 2 machines with windows 2000 professional are directly connected to Router. Motorola cable modem is connected to Netgear router, three windows machines, whose dhcp enabled ip addresses are provided by the Netgear, could able to ping each other and could able to access the internet connection.

I have configured dhcp client on solaris 8 (intel machine) as below:

RTL 8139 A NIC card( rtls0)

- touch /etc/dhcp.rtls0
- cp /dev/null /etc/hostname.rtls0
- /etc/inet/hosts --> containing only 127.0.0.0 local host entry
- touch /etc/notrouter
- cp /dev/null /etc/default router
- cp /dev/null /etc/resolv.conf
- edited /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:files dns

rebooted the system and ran the following command
# ifconfig rtls0 dhcp start

getting a message:
ifconfig: rtls0: wait timed out, operation still pending ...

and never come up.

--> for # ipconfig -a , there is no inet address assigned against "rtls0" nic card.

---> for # netstat -rn, the output doesnt have any destination, gateway entry other than 127.0.0.1

Please, can any body help in solving this problem.

even i have enable ip_forwarding.

Thanks in advance for your solution.

Regards
C.N.Raju
