[desktop-discuss] connecting to internet

[Prashant Poman]

Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 on my PC.MotherBoard is intel D865GSA and On board LAN Card of realtek 8139.All drivers are installed.
I have internet connection of VSNL Broadband with DHCP.They have provided me router.I don't know their IP address.
I executed the sys-unconfig and answered as follwows.

select a language -- 0(English)
select a locale --0 (English)
key board layout --US-English
Networked -- yes
use DHCP for rtls0-- yes
enable IPv6 for rtls0-- no
configure kerberos Security --no
Name Service -- None
NFSv4 Domain Configuration -- use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system

and so on..
it further asked my root password, date time settings etc.
What went wrong in above mentioned steps?

Do I need to contact my ISP to get it's IP address?

further I executed ifconfig and netstat.The results were as follows.

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rtls0: flags=1004843 mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.100 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:16:76:84:7b:b0
# netstat -nr

Routing Table: IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- ---------
default 192.168.1.254 UG 1 0 rtls0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.100 U 1 1 rtls0
224.0.0.0 192.168.1.100 U 1 0 rtls0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 12 482 lo0

Still Ping doesn't work.
Do I need to configure DNS? Which values should I use over there?
Do I need to make any changes in the configuration?

Thanking You!

Prashant Poman.
