My ISP has provided me a router which connects to internet using DHCP.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?


Your Solaris box needs to be configured to talk DHCP, so that the
router can supply it with the required info. This page I wrote

Hi Rich.

I got a dumb question for you:

Which sound chip, like the built-in ones that are the 7.1 type by Intel, does Solaris 10 support?
Or, would it be better to just purchase a Sun box? Their lowest cost box doesn't have a dvd/WR or CD/RW drive unit.

Wifes eMac broke, so she took my iMac G5. So I'm on the market for another machine.
