Hello all
I'm a very new user to Solaris 10. I believe i have my verizon DSL up
and running. when I do a
#pppd call verizon
I get
Serial conection established
Using interface sppp0
connect spp0 <--> /dev/sppptun
local IP ##.##.##.##
remote IP ##.#.##.#
(the #s are actual numbers just didn't want to advertise)
here is the output of ifconfig -a;
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu
8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
sppp0:
flags=10010008d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU>
mtu 1492 index 2
inet ##.##.##.## --> ##.#.##.# netmask ff000000
ether 0
#
(the #s are actual numbers just didn't want to advertise)
I followed the directions at ; http://www.phildev.net/solaris/spppoe.html
I have two problems,
1) When I open the browser it does not connect to the internet
2) I copied the script from the above location and I do not connect
when i reboot. (Yes, I did substitute the 'ISP' for my file....)
any help getting this worked out would be appreciated
Thabks in advance

Do you have stale dummy static route?
netstat -rn
If you have, mv /etc/defaultrouter /etc/not_so_default_router
Do you have DNS name service enabled and configured?
egrep 'hosts|ipnodes|dns' /etc/nsswitch.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
svcadm restart nscd

Thanks for the quick reply, but I didn't have any luck.

Err, sorry ... svcadm restart name-service-cache
After you are done, consider setup of ipf(1m) firewall because you are
directly on the internet, or at least shut down bunch of barely needed
RPC daemons (svcs | grep online) ...

it put an empty file in /etc, I read on another forum it there should
be nameserver and iP address in it and also should be in /etc/inet so
I copied the file from my fedora box and put it in the /etc/inet with
a link in the /etc
still nothing.....

Your internet provider will give you DNS, and pppd(8) shall write
resolv.conf(4).

ok, so I deleted all the resolv.conf I added and then
did touch /etc/resolv.conf
am I supposed to reboot or anything? stop or restart a process?
thanks for your patience as you might have guessed I am not a computer
guy.

Lets start from the beginning.
Why do you need to use PPPoE as well as DHCP on a DSL line.....?
Maybe its a verizon thing : /
If you need DHCP then set things up that first. I suggest a re-install
as you seem to have missed that bit. Sun does ask you during the
install
about things like that

ok Thanks for your help...
Verizon doesn't give you a static ip....
in slackware I use pppoe config and the one line it asks for either ip
address or use one from server...I always choose server...
I did a second install 1st thing this morning and I don't have enough
information to fill in all the questions....
I also tryed installing rp-pppoe-3.8 and rp-pppoe-3.5 neither would
compile. 3.5 said there was no gcc or cc
3.8 said cc could not compile...I did a full install with OEM and
added the 16 megs of extra....

if I check connection properties of sppp0 it says it's connected
received 34 kb
sent 42 kb
idle
eirlier I did try the ifconfig - a plumb
then a ifconfig -a and it showed the
elxl0 there but not connected to anything
so I tried ifconfig elxl0 ##.##.#.# netmask 255.255.255.0 up
the ip I used was the one from sppp0
then when I did the ifconfig it cam up but I still could not oing
anything
and the browser does not connect to the net

I suspect they DO if you pay for it. So DHCP is it then.

Like?? Find it out : / Call Verizon.
DHCP needs very litttle info to get going.

Make that tried

There is a gcc if you know where to look : /
But you'd never get it to work and anyway I doubt its needed.
> 3.8 said cc could not compile...
Thats a FAQ. There is no cc except a stub script in /usr/ucb.
Left over from when Sun used to charge $$$ for a real C compiler
suite.
/usr/ucb: something thats best removed from your PATH
>I did a full install with OEM and

extra... what?

your right, if I pay extra I could get a static IP
so I cant compile rp-pppoe
16 megs of extra packages that it wanted to in the begining of install
So DSL and PPPoE on solaris is just not going to work?

Probably not without some info from Verizon so you can setup DHCP
setup first.
Although that info SHOULD be on the Linux box when its up..

Sun will give you the software development tools. They are free! You
can download or order a DVD.
I can't say if DSL and PPPoE will work or not but the need to compile
things should not be an obstacle.

He meant that the line which reads:
hosts: files
should read:
hosts: files dns

DSL and PPPoE will work, I used it on Ultra and x86. Sun pppoec works,
but you need to lower MTU on hosts behind Solaris ad DSL router (if it
acts as a router) because it doesn't suppport mss clamping (nasty
workaround because of standards breaking on internet). RP PPPOE for
Linux works without a problem, except it runs Sun's pppd(1m) in
foreground, and pppd(1m), while it is killed, kills all processes in
it's process group - including svc.startd(1m) on Solaris 10!
Problem with this guy is simpy DNS. He gets connected, gets IP address
and route, he can probably ping something by IP address, but he doesn't
know how to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and ppp options in /etc/ppp to
enable dynamic resolv.conf(4) generation and host name resolution.

I have the DVD media set from sun, installed the sun studio 11
since I did that I got ./configure to work but now it hangs on make,
at libevent.o something about wanting to place it somewhere,
I dont have the exact complaint right now will post it later

what info should i look for? I figure it should work like
linux...silly me!
I'm not really ready to give up yet, Solaris seems to work very well
other wise...

Of course it does.
It looks like the part you're missing is proper DNS configuration.

Im sure it would had you configured the system properly in the first
place..
> I'm not really ready to give up yet,
Good. Commendable.
Most folks seem to think its a DNS problem. DHCP properly configured
would probably get you over that hurdle. But you seem unwilling to get
any
"missing" info from Verizon. You could try running sys-unconfig which
will reset everything from scratch. Choose DHCP as a name service.
Seems you picked "none" originally for whatever reason but Im guessing
now.
If you get stuck in some phase of configuration then post your results
verbatim..

I will be should be trying the DNS set up tonight, thanks for all the
suggetions,
I received a link about dchp, I need to read, and also try.
if neither of those work then I will give the sys-unconfig
and start over

DHCP and PPPoE are -- unfortunately and typically -- mutually
exclusive. If your provider gives you DHCP service, then you're in
good luck, because it works better than PPPoE in many regards.
If you must use PPPoE (because your provider requires its use), then:
- use the "usepeerdns" option for pppd
- symlink /etc/resolv.conf:
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
- make sure the system uses DNS:
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
If you have problems, then gather debug information ("netstat -nr",
system logs) and post again.

YESSS,
That worked,
Thank You all!!!
James Carlson, those couple of lines did the trick.
How do I get it to come up on boot?
I followed the directions from
http://www.phildev.net/solaris/spppoe.html
and that doesnt work.

Another way: make a local subnet with a cheapo router, configure the
DSL-adapter-to-router as PPPoE (assuming that is what your ISP
requires), and configure any subnet clients as DHCP.

Indeed; that's a common solution.

The instructions there seem somewhat reasonable to me. I'm not sure
what sort of problem you're having, but you might want to look at the
/var/svc/log/svc.startd.log file to see what happened.

These are the only errors I have in the /var/svc/log/svc.startd.log
I think the cause of these is me trying to set up my firewall and not
getting it correct yet.

This one's significant. Did you look at the log file that it
mentions?
Most likely, you need to modify /etc/ipf/iu.ap, but haven't done so.
