There is absolutely no special special configuration required for using DataOne
in either Solaris or Linux. I assume you have an ethernet modem, not the USB
one. If you didn't configure the system properly when it was being installed,
here is how you can tailor it to your needs:-
1. Run sys-unconfig as root. This will reconfigure your computer after a reboot.
2. Remember to enter correct IP address (ex. 192.168.1.10) and router address.
3. You'll have to manually specify the router address (ex. 192.168.1.1).
4. Select DNS as NONE. We'll configure it later.
After the system configuration has completed, the system will reboot again.
a. #domainname localdomain ; or anything else
b. cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
c. Make sure the router address is correct. #cat /etc/defaultrouter
d. Create a file /etc/resolv.conf, and enter the following details:-
domain localdomain
nameserver 61.1.96.69
nameserver 61.1.96.71
e. Execute script /usr/lib/mail/sh/check-hostname and see what changes it
suggests for /etc/hosts. Make the changes accordingly, or you'll have sendmail
error messages on your console. Here an example of last entry in /etc/hosts:
192.168.1.11 hostname hostname.domainname loghost
d. sync
e. shutdown -y -i6 -g5 ; reboot in 5 seconds.
You'll now have access to your broadband in Solaris. BTW, I recommend using
Solaris Express if you're using is for personal/home usage. Solaris Express has
many new features and is a testing version of Solaris 11.
If you have a USB router, follow the same steps *if you can find a driver for it*.
