First of all, Solaris 8 isn't Open Solaris. If you need help with
something that isn't Open Solaris, you should be going through Sun's
support channels instead.
The addresses you're showing above are RFC 1918 (non-routable)
addresses, so I'll assume that you're behind a NAT of some sort.
Are you using DHCP? If you were using DHCP, and if the server were
reasonably functional, you wouldn't have to set up anything -- it
should just work.
To troubleshoot this, I'd suggest two things:
- Post your _actual_ configuration files and any error messages
somewhere that someone else can view them. Having a summary
doesn't really help in finding usage problems.
- Eliminate problems one at a time.
First, check the interfaces. What does "ifconfig -a" say about the
interface configuration? Is the netmask set as expected?
Next, look at routing with "netstat -nr." Are the routes as expected?
Now try ping and traceroute. Use the "-n" option to stop it from
doing reverse address resolution via DNS. Can you reach the default
router? What about other sites?
Next, take a look at DNS configuration. What exactly do you have in
/etc/nsswitch.conf? What about /etc/resolv.conf? And /etc/hosts?
Can you do "getent hosts" for any of the failing web sites?
Finally, if all of that checks out, then start snooping (or using
ethereal). Find out what's really happening on the wire.
