Hi, I have a fresh install on my brand new laptop. The copper network is the "rge" intel realtek gigabit port. The wireless I'm not going to worry about now, though its intel again "iwk". Strange things are happening trying to get the network up and running. I'm basically just trying to get it to work statically (no dhcp).
Here's the output of some files (grep'd and clipped for relevancy) ***************************************************** /etc/hosts: # Internet host table # ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.205 Solaris-1 Solaris-1.com loghost ***************************************************** /var/adm/messages | grep rge0 Mar 10 21:27:23 Solaris-1 rge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0: Using MSI interrupt type Mar 10 21:27:23 Solaris-1 mac: [ID 469746 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0 registered ***************************************************** netstat -rn Routing Table: IPv4 Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- --------- default 192.168.1.1 UG 1 16 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.205 U 1 72 rge0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 345 lo0 Routing Table: IPv6 Destination/Mask Gateway Flags Ref Use If ::1 ::1 UH 1 21 lo0 ***************************************************** /etc/inet/netmasks 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 ***************************************************** /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 167.206.254.1 nameserver 167.206.254.2 ***************************************************** /etc/hostname.rge0 Solaris-1 ****************************************************** The strange things are seen in the attached "jpg's" below. Basically two utilities: 1) network-admin * This utility will not show the connections (http://www.rad-electronics.com/Downloads/network-admin_screenshot-1.jpg) * Displays the "Hosts" tab incorrectly (http://www.rad-electronics.com/Downloads/network-admin_screenshot.jpg) 2) network-monitor status icon when clicked on * Shows the proper network adapter (http://www.rad-electronics.com/Downloads/network_monitor-1.jpg) * Shows the proper support (http://www.rad-electronics.com/Downloads/network_monitor-2.jpg) But when clicked on to "configure" gives an error message: "The interface does not exist Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system" ********************************************************** Basically it's not working at all, I can't even ping the router. I'm hoping there's some work around, maybe something is broke. Maybe I did something wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Paul
