How to configure network interface

[bhoseit]

Hi,
I am quit familiar w/ solaris unix however have no knowledge w/ SCO I have been given a new sco v5.4.3 that I am trying to configure for network access. Is there a admin utility to configure the interface? In solaris Unix I would configure the following files and reboot
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.qfeo
/etc/resolv.conf

I do I define the IP address??? How can I test?? Solaris unix allows me to netstat or ifocnfig ... what are the comparable tools for SCO ?

Much appreciated

scoadim is the utility to configure the system.

search for network configuration.

Testing tools are the same you mentioned.

And a 5.4.x is a very old sco, not new. It is even possible that you do not have TCP/IP licensed on that machine.

Hi Frederico,
I couldn't find any such file, scoadim Any other suggestions? We are not able to upgrade due to hardware limitations with our outside vendor.

Where would I find most utilities? /usr/bin; /usr/sbin; /bin is where I looked.

thanks again

Couldn't find any scoadmin either ... what directory would it be in if I had it?

If you have tcp/ip runtime, you can try

 netconfig

Hope This Help

Sorry again.
Wrong version.

netconfig will be the one to use on this case as PHV mentioned.

sysadmsh would the the other sys utility to use instead of scoadmin.

Gee. I don't even remember the menus anymore..

on my SCO 5.0.4 theese utils are scoadmin and netconfig:
# find / -name scoadmin
/usr/lib/X11/sco/ScoAdmin/scoadmin
/usr/bin/scoadmin
/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/sa/desktop/scoadmin
# find / -name netconfig
/etc/netconfig
/opt/K/SCO/lli/5.0.4d/ncfg/netconfig
They are installed by default.

allmost all you do by this tools (besides ofcause adding NIC driver & kernel recompile) is editing file /etc/tcp where you'd find strings like this:

ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 perf 57344 57344 1
ifconfig -p <interface-name> <ip-addr> netmask <netmask> broadcast <broadcast> perf 4096 8192 1

try man <command-name>
look there, nothing scared
