Dear people, Peter:
Finally my ISP gave me four static IP's, in order to get Internet. So I had
no to get in trouble with DHCP...but in thsi new configuration I have no
Internet too.
Assuming one of my IP is 200.0.0.2 I do this:
/etc/hosts/200.0.0.2 ale (separated by a Tab)
/etc/inet/hosts/200.0.0.2 ale (separated by a Tab)
/etc/resolv.conf --- domain ale.com.ar
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver y.y.y.y.
/etc/nsswitch.conf --- hosts: dns files
/etc/defaultrouter --- 200.0.0.1 (my default gateway)
Then I reboot and hme0 is Up and running....but I have no Internet.
I test in a WXP machine with the IP and MAC of my Solaris and I get
connected to Internet.
I have no IP Filter firewall rules...so I ask you: is my /etc/files
configuration good enough ???
Thanks again to everybody !!!!
Alejandro
