[SunHELP] My last straw in getting Solaris 8 on the Internet.

[Beauford]

I installed Solaris 8 last week and have been though many, many FAQ's
and DOC's as well as several newsgroups trying to find out why I can't
connect to the Internet, and from the information I have been able to
gather, nothing is wrong - I should be connected. I have an X86 box
connected to @Home through a Terayon modem. I also have a Linux box that
works fine when connected to the same Terayon modem. I have ran netstat
-rn and also ifconfig on both machines and get the same info on both -
so it appears that the Solaris box is getting the proper network
information, I just can't get to the Internet (note that I am set up
statically). There is nothing weird about my setup - it just goes from
the modem to the NIC (which is one that is on the HW compatibility
list). The only thing I haven't done is install any of the patches -
simply because I can't connect to be able to get them, however, I don't
know if this would make any difference anyway. I know this isn't a lot
of info, but any help is appreciated. It isn't much use if I can't get
it to connect to the Internet.

Thanks, Beauford
