Ok... This is a little complicated, but simple so please bear with me.
I am running Dachstein LRP package (Floppy/CD-ROM) as my Router/Firewall/DHCP/DNS Cashing.
I have 4 Windows Machines on my LAN all with Static IP's. I have a box running Mandrake Linux 9 - Static IP. I have an HP Visualize C3000 running HP-UX 11.00 - Static IP (tried with DHCP). I have an Ultra SPARC Enterprise 2 running Solaris 9 - Static IP (tried DHCP also).
Ok... Here is the issue... ALL my Windows and Linux boxes have no problem getting on the internet when I have static IP information assigned and/or running DHCP. I am running this all in a Workgroup model so no domain controller here.
I have done fresh installs on both UNIX boxes but I cannot get them to Ping outside the LAN regardless of the way I have networking set up on them. I tried DHCP and Static IP assignment and configuration and cannot get it to do it on either boxes. Prior to having the LRP box do my routing, I was able to get on the net with my Sun and now I cannot. I can ping any of my IP's on the internal network...
Can anyone point me in some direction from here? I have tried ALL kinds of weird stuff including some strange voodoo stuff and no work... although my wife is more agreeable... :o) (joke).... I dunno if this is an issue with my machines or the router. Even though I can ping the router's IP, if I run the following command (in HP-UX) "route add default 192.168.1.254" it tells me network is unreachable... and my ISP's DNS server's IP is 198.17.116.8 and I can ping it on my Windows/Linux machines, but not from my UNIX boxes.
Anyhow, thanks for listening and helping... :o)
This sounds for all the world like a problem with your default route. I have no idea how to play with routing on a sun box, but I think you need to start with the low-level networking and proceed from there.
Make sure your local IP is really set correctly, and your local networks are also properly configured (IIRC, don't sun boxes have an /etc/networks file or something that lists locally connected networks?).
Once your local network info is configured properly, you should be able to set a default route. With this working properly, the next step is DNS functionality, and then you should have full internet connectivity.
The fact that DHCP isn't working properly is a bit wierd, but I don't know enough about suns to begin to tell you how to debug dynamic configuration.
I think "ipconfig -a" and "netstat -nr" should work on your sun box. Report their output if you continue to have problems.
