Hello, people.
I'm currently a newbie in Solaris. So I have couple of questions.

I have a computer with Realtec AN8139 NIC. The card was detected from the beginning, so I did not have to download any extra drivers.

I also have a router (D-Link DI-514) which is connected to my adsl-modem.
I've set up a mac-filter on the router, so this Solaris-machine gets 192.168.0.100 automatically. I've managed to get this machine working in my LAN. But when I try a simple "ping google.com", I get "Host Unknown". Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Some data:

Router info:

Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DHCP: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1

Some network info on the machine:

# ifconfig rtls0

rtls0: flags=1000843<UP, BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.0.100 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether <mac-address>

# netstat -rn

Your router probably haven't returned the name resolution.

populate /etc/resolv.conf and add dns to the hosts line in nsswitch.conf.

I've crossposted at forum.sun.com and got some advice. Thank you, people. The problem is now solved :-) /me wrote this from Solaris 10 x86

And what was the problem's origin ?

My host did not have a dns set up.

I've edited two files:

/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver LOCAL_DNS_IP
nameserver ISP_DNS_IP


/etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts: files dns

Thanks for the feedback.

You should try to understand why your router isn't setting the dns automatically through dhcp.
