Configuring network - Solaris 10 - Laptop
Hi all
First of all, it is the first time I installed Solaris 10 on my laptop. I was just wondering how can I get the network card to work? It's a standard Realtek ethernet card. The router that provides me with the Internet runs a DHCP server so the IP will be allocated to the computer automatically. If you could please provide me with any advices how to solve this problem.
Cheero.

Hello.
a) Make sure that you have a driver for the network card. Note: There are different types of Realtek network chipsets and Solaris only comes with drivers for two of them.
b) Find out the name of the network card. Maybe it is "rtls0". (I do not know how to find that out.)
c) Create the file "/etc/hostname.rtls0" (replace rtls0 by the real name of the network card). The file contains only one line which is the host name of your system.
d) Create the file "/etc/dhcp.rtls0". The file should be empty.
e) Reboot
