connecting a new machine to an existing network
 

Hi all,
our network in my company based on sun solaris server and a couple of workstations connected to it(some are sun solaris and other are redhat linux)
I want to connect a new workstation to this network. I tried to connect redhat machine but when try to login, it won't let me in. my account is working fine on other machins connected to this network, so I don't assume a proplem with my account. I loged in as root and tried to give it another static IP address, then I pinged the server and it works fine but still when I try to log in with my account it failed.

please help me with this problem, what files I have to check or configure on this machine? or is there any files missing? or maybe something needs to be configured on the server?

I tried with other machine(solaris) but still the problem exist.
Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

You did create a new account for the RH machine for the user on the RH machine that you attached to the network?

yes, the user account is already exist and works fine on other machines. I think I need to configure this machine with the server but I don't know how. what files I have to configure and what information I need to know about the server like(server name, domain,....etc), please help.
