Just bought a Sparc 200 - need some simple help

[AidanEnos]

Basically I want to either:

use DHCP and have it get an address, DHCP and gateway data from my cable router....

OR

Statically configure the same parameters.

Thanks,

You can use ifconfig with the interface name and ip address to assign a ip address for the network card.

ifconfig hme0 <ip-address> up

However this command works only for that session.so u would like to put in the startup scripts (rc scripts).

Hope this helps.

sys-unconfig the machine, then when it reboots you can set the parameters

To add to jad comment, after you run sys-unconfig, it will bring you to the prompt, then enter &quot;reset&quot; to restart. Too bad I.T. is not cash business

forgot about that ... you don't have to worry about the boot prom on intel solaris

would be nice if i could get a sparc, but PC's are cheaper hardware ...
