I installed Sun Solaris 7 for PC on my PC. How can I get it connected to our NT server platform?
 
Hi Cecille,<br><br>First off, if you are using Microsoft DNS in your NT domain, you need to edit a few files to get your Solaris box onto the network.<br><br>In /etc/nsswitch.conf, edit the following line:<br>hosts:&nbsp;&nbsp;files<br>to read:<br>hosts:&nbsp;&nbsp;files dns<br>&nbsp;<br>Next, edit /etc/defaultrouter and add the ip address of the gateway.<br><br>Next, edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following lines:<br>domain your.fully.qualified.domain.name<br>nameserver ip.addy.of.dns.server<br><br>Double check your IP address in /etc/hosts and your subnetmask in /etc/netmask<br><br>To have your Solaris box function as a member of the NT domain, please visit <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <br>&nbsp;<br>Good luck!<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Yahoo Messenger: coily2
