Setting up internet connection

[Alberto T. Tepox]

Shalom.
I want to know what do i have to do to connect internet.
I have HP-UX 11.11 and i connected to the lan but i don't have internet access.
I want to know what file should i modify to have internet access o what commands must run.

TKS A LOT

Alberto,

I assume you need access to internet via a proxy server !!

If you have netscape or Mozilla installed on HP-UX, the proxy server details can be configured in preferences ( same as in Windows)..

Ta,
Jag

[Alberto T. Tepox]

ok, But i only works in text mode or console mode.

I want the internet access to can send mail messages

[Ivan Krastev]

Hi Alberto,

for internet access you need to setup your network:
ip address of machine, default gateway - /etc/rc.config.d/netconf


dns servers : /etc/resolv.conf

Hi, I need some information from you:

1. Can you access you HPUX server from a PC via network?

2. Did you configured /etc/mail/sendmail.cf?

3. From your HPUX, can you "ping" your PC with the name?

4. From HPUX server, when you type nslookup www.cnn.com, can you get some IP's?

TKS.
OK
Respect to the information here is, i hope thats right,

1. Can you access you HPUX server from a PC via network?
I can open a telnet session, do a ping from my pc in teh same network.

2. Did you configured /etc/mail/sendmail.cf?
In this point i've made a lot of changes but in specific what configuration?

3. From your HPUX, can you "ping" your PC with the name?
No, i can't do it.

4. From HPUX server, when you type nslookup www.cnn.com, can you get some IP's?
No, i can't do it.

2. in sendmail.cf you need to configure:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail_gateway.yourcompany.com

#O FallbackMXhost=fall.back.host.net
O mail_gateway.yourcompany.com

"mail_gateway.yourcompany.com" should be the mail server your company used to relay emails to / from internet.

3. / 4. can you check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure you have correct domain and nameserver configured.

Tks. I've configured sendmail.cf but i don't have resolv.conf.

What information should be there?

[Yang Qin_1]

/etc/resolv.conf looks like:

domain
nameserver


you can get DNS name / Ip by type "nslookup www.cnn.com" in dos window on your PC, then "ping "

you can use your PC's domain name for HPUX
