But this is not possible. You are trying to connect to the Internet by plugging the OpenSolaris laptop directly into a DSL modem, correct? The full OpenSolaris network documentation is here: http://www.opensolaris.com/use/network_administration.pdf but I don't want to confuse you with too much information, so I will try to summarize it all into a few quick paragraphs. Basically, there are two ways of managing network connections in OpenSolaris. The first way involves a service that is called: "network/physical:nwam" The "nwam" part stands for "network auto-magic" and this is similar to how Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista desktop computers can automatically configure networking by getting an IP address, a subnet mask, and a default router from a DHCP server (see the following links): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol The way nwam works is that you just plug in the right kind of ethernet cable in to both the DSL router and the OpenSolaris computer, and if the DSL router has a DHCP server running on it, then nwam will automatically do all of the work for you by getting an IP address, subnet mask and default route / gateway from the DHCP server and then automatically configuring these networking settings in OpenSolaris. So if nwam is running (and it should be running by default in a new un-tampered with installation of OpenSolaris 2009.06) and a DHCP server is running on the DSL modem, then all of the network settings should be configured automatically after you plug in the network cable. After you plug in the network cable and NWAM configures everything via DHCP, open up a UNIX command line terminal and run these two commands: ifconfig -a netstat -nr to see what the IP address and default route is that NWAM got from the DHCP server in the DSL router. Also, if there is a wireless network near by that you can connect to, you will see an icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen that looks kind of like this: http://www.opensolaris.com/learn/features/whats-new/200811/images/nwam-gui.png Just click on the icon / message about the wireless network there with your mouse and click on the wireless network that you want to connect to and the NWAM service should automatically connect to it if this service is running properly. The other way of doing networking on OpenSolaris (if you a running a server with NWAM turned off and only need a static IP address) is called: "network/physical:default" If the NWAM service is disabled and the "network/physical:default" service is enabled then you have to configure networking manually using commands like: route add default 192.168.1.1 or editing the /etc/defaultrouter and hostname.interface files. To let us know if the NWAM service is running, please open up a command line shell and type in his command: svcs -a | grep physical or type in this command: svcs nwam and then copy and paste the results here. Also run these commands: ifconfig -a netstat -nr dladm show-phys pfexec dladm scan-wifi and let us know what the output says. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
