Hello,

I have just installed Solaris 9 onto my Ultra 1, but i'm having the same
trouble i was having before when i put Solaris 8 on there... i can't get
it onto the internet!

You can see the network map here:
http://fishsponge.co.uk/miscfiles/networkMap.gif

The machine in question is "eMonster" (192.168.254.100).

It will recognise every machine on my LAN ok, and i can get everything
else working internally, but i can't get it to work past my router!

Here are the necessary parts of files that should make the difference:

-------------------------
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
-------------------------
hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files dns

-------------------------
/etc/defaultrouter:
-------------------------
192.168.254.254

-------------------------
/etc/resolv.conf:
-------------------------
nameserver 192.168.254.254

but.....

  bash-2.05# ping unixforum.co.uk
  ping: unknown host unixforum.co.uk
  bash-2.05#

Help!!

This has also been posted here, if you wish to reply for the world to see:

Thanks,
Richard.
