Hi all, I'm a new user of Solaris, I like to know how to setup IP and gateway. I have installed Solaris 10 on x86. Thanks, Vikky

The simple answer is using dhcp when you installed it. If you have a home setup it should be working in most cases.... unless Solaris is a bit lacking in support for common nics. Start with ifconfig -a and see what it says. Might have to su to root. I thought some versions of 10 had a nice little gui screen to config network like other linux os's. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hi If you are in a network then :- To setup your ip and gateway do the following: log in as root anddopen terminal. if you know which interface you are using then do the following: 1) ifconfig <interface> x.x.x.x up (x.x.x.x is the IP you want to give or is available) or if you dont know then: 1) enter the command "ifconfig -a" Note: identify the interface you are using should be something like one of these rtls0, eht0, etc. if its not there then enter the command tail -f /var/adm/messages and plug and unplug your network cable and see the change in the messages and from ther note down your interface name. 2) ifconfig <interface> plumb 3) ifconfig <interface> x.x.x.x up For gateway: edit the file /etc/defaultrouter and entee teh gateway ip in this file.
