Hugh's answer was correct for NWAM phase 0 and 0.5 But NWAM phase 1 integrated into build 135, so things are a little different now (though you shouldn't see errors; if that continues please follow up on nwam-discuss). NWAM configuration is now stored in profiles. Link and interface configuration is in the Network Configuration Profile (NCP). The Automatic NCP is created by the system and uses DHCP. If you'd like a static configuration, you can create an alternate NCP. From the GUI, choose 'Network Profile' on the "Show:" menu at the top. You can the select or create a different profile, and can choose dhcp and/or static IP addressing for each interface. You can independently choose whether or not you want to use dhcp to configure dns and/or nis. More general network configuration for things like name services and security is part of the Location profile. You get to those via the "Locations..." button on the "Connection Status" page in the GUI. There's a lot more information about NWAM phase 1 on our project page: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+nwam/WebHome Also, the nwam-discuss mailing list is a good place to ask questions. -renee > > -Siva > > > On 07/26/10 01:11 PM, Hugh McIntyre wrote: > > Sivakumar Shanmugasundaram wrote: > >> > >> > >> Hello All! > >> > >> This is for my desktop.
