connecting to the internet

[Todd McDaniel_1]

I have an ia64 11.23 server that should now have access to the internet, however, I don't know what I need to configure to get it to work.

are there any daemons that need to be running? I see the www port defined in /etc/services...

help a brother out!!

The Internet is a big place. To what is your
system connected? (And what else is
connected there?) SAM (or its descendants)
should offer basic IP network configuration.

Hope the system is already connected to a network which can see your company proxy or ISP (through firewall), check whether you have firefox or mozilla installed:

swlist -l product|grep -Ei 'moz|fox'

which firefox
which mozilla

/opt/firefox/firefox

Otherwise, needs to provide more info. reg the system setup.

Hi ,

If mozilla is installed then only thing needed is DNS ip in /etc/resolv.conf ,that should be enough for internet configuration.

Thanks,
Aneesh

Shalom,


The net daemon needs to be running, which is undoubtedly running on your system.

What you need is to configure /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to have a valid and pingable gateway.

Then configure /etc/nsswtich.conf to use DNS for host name resolution, after files.

Then put your organizations DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf

HP-UX has been internet ready for a very long time.
