Zhanks a lot for helps system5. Please find below the output of the requested commands. You are right. I'm Trying to connect my Opensolaris PC to a router, which has an integrated DSL modem.
The DHCP functionality of the router is active. I have tried to establish the internet connectivity through the nwam service and let Opensolaris do it for me. But the DHCP request fails ( The icon on the top right side of the screen prints DHCP request fails because the server did not answer within a time frame.) root at opensolaris:~$ svcs nwam STATE STIME FMRI online 6:00:55 svc:/network/physical:nwam root at opensolaris:~$ ifconfig -a lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 nge0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000 lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1 inet6 ::1/128 nge0: flags=2004841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 inet6 fe80::3791:faff:fefc:1b00/10 root at opensolaris:~$ netstat -nr Routing Table: IPv4 Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- --------- 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 14 lo0 Routing Table: IPv6 Destination/Mask Gateway Flags Ref Use If --------------------------- --------------------------- ----- --- ------- ----- fe80::/10 fe80::3791:faff:fefc:1b00 U 1 0 nge0 ::1 ::1 UH 1 0 lo0 root at opensolaris:~$ dladm show-phys LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE nge0 Ethernet up 100 full nge0 root at opensolaris:~$ pfexec dladm scan-wifi root at opensolaris:~$ dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER nge0 phys 1500 up -- -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
