Problems browsing the internet - Solaris8 - Netscape 7

Post by JMarti » Mon, 26 May 2003 00:54:50



Can anyone help me connect Solaris 8 to the internet via Netscape 7.

I have a SPARCserver 20, W2K server, and 2 PCs on a home network with a
belkin wireless router connecting to a broadband modem. I can ping all
devices within my network, administer the router via netscape, and even open
sun.com using the IP address from the sparc20. But I can't seem to configure
it to use netscape to browse any internet sites.

I suspected a DNS issue and adjusted my  /etc/defaultrouter,
/etc/rc2.d/Sxxstaticroures, and /etc/resolv.conf  but did not get anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

PS: All other systems are working fine.

What do you mean by "did not get anywhere"?  Were you even able to ping any
sites by name?  What is in your /etc/resolv.conf?

1. Unable to Browse Internet with Netscape

I am having some trouble trying to get my internet connection working. I
have been able to connect to my ISP O.K. and I get allocated a TCP address
but I am unable to use Netscape to do any browsing. I type in an URL and it
does nothing until timing out. I have looked in the message logs and I see a
regular message No link beat on the MII interface, status then 7809 now
7809. I am using Red Hat 5.2 and Netscape 4.07 and I have checked that the
DNS is correct. My ISP does not use a proxy and they are unable to support
Linux. As I am new to Linux any ideas would be appreciated.
