Where can I configure the internet in Solaris? ipconfig does not even give me the same output as it would in Linux, and other Linux commands are not commands in Solaris that would get the internet working. I am using JFS which is really Gnome, but there is not a network-admin to get the internet working. I also have CDE. Why does Mozilla Firefox have a java icon to show a page being loaded in the top right corner? How can I update Solaris? It looks like I have some old versions of software. How can I know that Solaris found my network card? lspci does not work. How can I add a new network card? I must need a computer with a sparc processor to have good hardware support.

Huh, that's a lot of questions.

First Solaris is not a Linux distribution, so don't be surprised to see some commands and user interface to be different.

For internet access, you first need to have a network card configured, it looks like you didn't set it at installation time, may be because it's just unsupported.

You fail to tell what your H/W is, and what Solaris version you have installed.

I think you mean JDS, not JFS which is indeed based on Gnome.

lspci equivalent is /usr/X11/bin/scanpci

I have internet now.

Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps this would be more useful if you tell the rest of us what was wrong and how did you fixed it.

My network adapter wasn't supported, so I used a different one.

You realtek NIC is supported by the H/W vendor ( http://www.realtek.com.tw/ ), and the sis one should be by the open source sfe driver http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/tai...e-2.2.0.tar.gz
