How to install this file please?? URGENT!
 
How can I install this file under Solaris 10 for x86??

Can someone PLEASE explain this step by step please? But it has to be step-by-step since I cannot get onto the Internet under Solaris 10...and I dont want to keep going back and forth since I am dual-booting with Win2000...

The file is TAR.GZ file...Like here...

Now, under Win2000 I will burn it onto a CD and after that I only will need someone to explain on how to install this file please...

I would appreciate it...I am noob at this...All I want is to get on the net under Solaris too using a PPPoE Dialer..

Ok..well..I may not be needing that after all I hope...Because now I have a router..But heres the issue..

The router appears to be working under WIndows 2000...but when I boot into Solaris, I cannot get the Internet to work...

So do I have to reinstall Solaris and configure my DHCP/Internet settings in the installer or can I just reconfigre it within SOlaris somewhere???

In other words...since I got my router working under Windows, where do I have to go in order for Solaris to see my router connection?? Or to reconfigure Solaris to connect to the Internet using a router???

I am dual-booting with Windows..

I hope I dont have reinstall Solaris in order to re-configure my Internet connection...

Also..to be safe..I checked if my NIC adapter was really compatible and it is..look here

In Windows 2000, I typed "ipconfig/all" and heres what it came out to be below...So the information on what you see below...do I have to enter the IP address, Default gateway, and the DNS somewhere under Solaris??

I am using a PPPoE type connection...But everything works fine under Windows..but Solaris cannot log me on to the Internet after booting.

So what do I have to do in order for Solaris to log me on the Internet?? What information do I have to have and where can I enter this without re0installing Solaris??

The router works OK under Windows..But when after booting to Solaris I clicked on the browser button and the connection failed...

How can I resolve this problem? PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE ONLY ONE PC DUAL-BOOTING WITH WIN2000/SOLARIS...NO OTHER BOX INVOLVED
