I want to build a local network system within an office with Pentium PC (FreeBSD 2.1.0), SparcStation (Solaris 2.5) and an ethernet Hub. But I have serious problems to make it work. Pentium PC has an ethernet card and moden. The FreeBSD has been working for months. Because I have no direct internet access, I changed a line in /etc/sysconfig from network_interfaces="ed0 lo0" to network_interfaces="lo0" Last week, I purchased a Smart EtherHub with 16 port, and a Sun SparcStation with Solaris 2.5. When I turned power on at very begining, it asked me hostname, IP number, and whether it is networked. I gave a hostname, pick up a random IP number. Thus, SparcStation itself is up. I connected Sparc to the hub (port 1) using patch cord, and connected PC to the hub (port 2) using patch cord. Sparc has its hostname 'ultralean' and PC has its hostname 'supanee'. My question is how can I access one machine from another? Say, I want to telnet to supanee from ultralean, how? The following commend telnet ultralean does not work. Your hints and help will be greatly appreciated. Best Regards Tianlin Wang Newsham Hybrids (USA) Inc. E-mail tianlin@iguana.ruralnet.net P.O.
