Hi
Solaris 10 x86 build 9 has configured my e1000g interface with an IP address, however I use wireless on my desktop with USB 802.11b/g, driver provider Ralink.
How can I configure and change this setting.
In the file /etc/hostname.e1000g I have my hostname, so presumably i rename this file to the name of the wireless interface (which I dont know) and reboot.
And do I have to change the settings for the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter under Windows VISTA 64 or do I leave it as it is.
Thanks

** SOLUTION **
By going to Devices / Network adapter I selected "Attached to : Bridged Adapter" and the USB Wireless.
* I edited :
* Pre-configured during the OS installation.
Coincidentally the native rwn [Ralink] driver only exists afaik on OpenSolaris and not Solaris 10.
Here are some very useful and interesting links :

Code: Select all
/etc/resolv.conf with the IP address of my router and I can now resolve DNS names
/etc/defaultrouter with the IP address of my router
cp /etc/nsswsitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
Code: Select all
/etc/hostname.e1000g
/etc/hosts
