solaris 8 - no interfaces up

[doti]

hi, I have a little problem with solaris 8 platform. After instalation, there are no interfaces up. So I cannot configure the network. What can I do? How can I make interfaces???

Thanks in advance for your help...

Can you plumb the interfaces ("ifconfig <interface> plumb")?
What's your hardware?

Ok, I tried to use the ifconfig command, but it gives back that there is invalid file name.
e.g
ifconfig hme0 plumb

gives back invalid file name.
How can I know what name should I give??

Hi dude,

Try " ifconfig -a " first.
This should show which interfaces are available.
Depending on the interfaces, the names change (e.g.; ce0, hme0,eri0, ...)

How did you configure / install the system?

Is the /etc/hosts file configured correctly, together with the /etc/netmasks and the /etc/hostname.<adaptorname> ???

grtz

doti. Why are you starting another thread for this when your first is still extant? It just serves to confuse matters IMHO.

Correct.
Noticed the newer thread with answer yesterday evening...
