When I installed Solaris 8 I could not setup the network. Now that the installation is complete I would like to set my domain, ip, hostname, nameservers and subnet. I've tried sys-unconfig but upon reboot I am only asked to change the power management options.. then it continues normaly without asking for network options. I've also tried editing /etc/.sysIPtools.state which when I rebooted asked me to configure my time zone and my root password but still nothing about my network. How do I set up my network?

To change your domain and nameservers. /etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf To change your IP /etc/hosts To change your hostname http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=1 Hope this helps Jose

Setting a Domain name : Create a file called /etc/defaultdomain and add domain name in it and reboot. Setting an IP address: Edit /etc/hosts and add the entry of your hostname and corresponding ip address. Edit /etc/hostname.hme0(depends on your interface) and add your hostname to it. use ifconfig netmask plumb up Setting Default Gateway: Create a file called /etc/defaultrouter and add the ipaddress of your default gateway. Reboot or run route add default `cat /etc/defaultrouter` (remember back quotes) Setting Name Servers: Open /etc/resolv.conf and add the entries as follows: nameserver nameserver
