I think I don;t understand your question, lets see, you have a LapTop
Dell right? and you want to configure an IP address on the LapTop? or
you are using the LapTop to configure a Sun Server?.
If you tried to configure and IP address on your LapTop and you are
using Windows, you can do this:
One Click on my networkplaces icon and one click with the right buton,
select properties, choose area local conection, click eith the right
buton, and choose properties, select Internet protocol (TCP/IP) and
click on properties, this procedure opens a new window where you can
configure an IP Address, netmask, gateway and DNS, once you done, click
on accept, depending on youre windows version you have to reboot your
system or not.
Now, if you are using youre LapTop to configure a SunServer you attach
youre LapTop to the serial port of the Sun and do this:
You must be a root, you type
# ifconfig <Interface type> plumb
This initializaed the network card.
You can verify the status of the card typing
# ifconfig -a
You see the card but with no settings
You type
#ifconfig <Interface type> <IP Address> netmask <Netmask values> up
You can see the settings using ifconfig -a
This configuration is temporary, if you reboot youre system the
configuration will be lost, if you want to make toure configuration
permanent, you do this:
under /etc directory, you create a file named hostname.<interface type>
in this file you type the name of youre hots, ej.
# vi hostname.le0
prueba
!wq
Then in the host table tou set the name of yor host following by the IP
Address.
Finally, in the /etc/netmasks, you set the mask for the net you just
configure.
The interface types are:
le0 -- Ultra Family (Ultra1, Ultra2)
hme0 -- Ultra Family (Ultra5 - Ultra80) and Enterprise Family (E220 - E10K)
dmfe0 -- SunBlade Family
eri0 -- SunFire Family
If you have any questions, please let me know.
