Hi,
I have installed solaris 2.5.1 for x86 on my PC
and I want now to connect to internet, but I dont know how
to configure.
Under W95 or NT I receive a IP-Adress from my Provider
at dialup, but I've seen no documentation about that for
Solaris, do I need to have a fix IP-address?
Also my modem does not dial, when I try to connect, maybe
I've not the good configuration for it, I have a US Robotics
Sportster Flash
Thanks in Advance.

Be forewarned that after I got the PPP Tool working , I had to modify the Login
Script.. Then I could only connect if I I setup debugging info with PPPTool -9
...
Anyway if I appear to be complaining , I am. Since trying to setup a dial
connection is really a big hassle even with the Solstice PPP. This is one of
those thing that any OS maker should take into account and make as easy as
possible.
Currently I an using cable modem and I dread going back to modem Communications
, is it is such a hassle with Solaris and OS2.. That is one of the major reason
I stopped using OS2.
Good Luck.

PS. If you need the Solstice PPP CD ... make me a decent offer and it is yours.

Have a look at http://users.orac.net.au/~doug/network which contains
setup instructions for a package called DP
(http://www.acn.purdue.edu/dp/dp.html).
An alternative is at http://photon.nepean.uws.edu.au/ppp/index.html
which uses a package called Free PPP
(ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/)
