You will not be able to communicate without it. What kind of ethernet card is in there now? You will also need to modify your ``ifconfig_ed0'' line below the network_interfaces line to get your IP number in there, so the computer knows who it is. > 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. Don't forget to add both hostnames to /etc/hosts so name lookups work ok. This is really quick and dirty, if you want any details just ask.
