Hi:

I use Verizon DSL to connect to the Internet. By using Windows 98 Internet
Connection Sharing, my personal network can access the Internet via the DSL
connection. Recently, I installed Solaris 7 into one of my PC. I set the IP
address of the Solaris PC as 192.168.0.9. My other PCs can ping the Solaris
PC and vice versa. I could like to use a web browser in the Solaris PC to
access the Internet. Does anybody know the way to set it up? I will
appreciate you very much.

Thanks.

Justin

I haven't used a Win98 machine as a gateway for Solaris, usually
the other way around - but it should be as simple as putting the IP
address of the machine acting as your router in /etc/defaultrouter and
rebooting...

I presume that your Windows box is connected to the DSL line. All you
should have to do is set a default route on your Solaris box pointing
at the Windows box. If, for example, your Windows box has an IP
address of 192.168.0.1:

route add default 192.168.0.1
echo "192.168.0.1" > /etc/defaultrouter

Then create /etc/resolv.conf containing something like:

domain verizon.net
nameserver whatever-Verizon's-DNS-server-IP-address-is

and:

cp /etc/nswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

Regards, Mike.

Winroute Lite or Pro could set this up without too many headaches. The
connection sharing that came with 98SE has never worked quite right for
me. HTH
