(2) hp512n running win2k
(1) compaq desktop running linux 7.3
(1) sparc 5 running solaris 8
these computers make up my home network connecting to a dsl modem....i...
i will first try resetting the etc/hosts file to point to the 169.254.97.234 and see if i have any luck that way..
i like the idea of setting a lan behind the router..(which is probably a better practice for security reasons id imagine?)
i really appreciate you hanging in here...i probably...
oh by the way...i didnt answer your questions...
/etc/defaultrouter address is the dsl modem 169.254.97.234

i am attempting to get to the dsl modem via the hub for the sparc 5...but since i am not using dns i do not set up an /etc/resolv.conf...i did...

i cant ping to or from the sparc 5....but the windows box works fine...strange huh?...then again...i should try and the sys-unconfig and start from scratch...
im just confused what subnet i should be setting into the sparc 5 as well as what default router to put into the defaultrouter file in...
well i stand to be corrected then...i have not paid for additional IP's...however, i found this to be interesting...i ran this command ifconfig from my cmd on my windows 2000...(which was originally connected directly to the westell modem that verizon provides..but is accessed by my windows from...
from single user mode...
probe-scsi-all
im not sure how detailed that information will be...but it does let you know all scsi devices seen...if you have something attached that is NOT seen..try boot -r to reconfigure the kernel....does that help at all?
oh and to answer matt's question..

hey there!
