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 :

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

* Pre-configured during the OS installation.

Code: Select all

 /etc/hostname.e1000g
 /etc/hosts

Coincidentally the native rwn [Ralink] driver only exists afaik on OpenSolaris and not Solaris 10.

Here are some very useful and interesting links :
