According to the route information that you have given below, the IP of the router is 192.168.1.254 and your IP is 192.168.1.100 > I executed the sys-unconfig and answered as follwows. > > select a language -- 0(English) > select a locale --0 (English) > key board layout --US-English > Networked -- yes > use DHCP for rtls0-- yes > enable IPv6 for rtls0-- no > configure kerberos Security --no > Name Service -- None > NFSv4 Domain Configuration -- use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system > > and so on.. > it further asked my root password, date time settings etc. > What went wrong in above mentioned steps? > Nothing went wrong here. Solaris was able to get an IP assigned to the card via DHCP.

Ping the following using ping -s 192.168.1.100 -> your IP 192.168.1.254 -> Your router 208.67.222.222 -> OpenDNS.com's DNS server 208.67.220.220 -> Another DNS server hosted at OpenDNS.com You should be able to ping all of the above. If the openDNS servers cannot be pinged, then perform a traceroute to find out just where down the path your traffic is not going ahead This page has a brief and educational description of using traceroute http://www.pcnetcom.net/solaris.htm Once you establish that you are able to ping the openDNS servers, you'd have established that your internet connection is up. Next, test your name servers: nslookup mail.yahoo.com You should get a the IP addresses of the yahoo mail servers. If you don't get a name resolution, then the DNS servers are not not working right for you. You could simply swithc to OpenDNS anyway: 1. Edit /etc/resolv.conf to contain the following: domain localhost.localdomain nameserver 208.67.220.220 nameserver 208.67.222.222 2. Copy /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf -- Sriram
