I've got a network at home, with a WinXP machine (this one), a WinME machine (my parents' downstairs) both connected to a BT Voyager router. All working fine, yadda yadda.
I recently bought a bare-bones box for a second PC, and have installed Solaris 10 on it (I'm using GNOME/Java Window Thingy). This is my first *nix OS (although I used Solaris 9 with GNOME at uni and liked it a lot) so I'm still green.
How do I connect this to the network? Obviously I've plugged the network cable into it But software-wise, what do I need to do? When it comes to *nix, I know next to nothing. It's all one big learning experience
The only options I can find regarding networks are the Network Monitor (which says I'm connected to a network called lo0, which is idle. I'm guessing this is a default setting?), and Proxy Configuration, which confused me. My limited networking knowledge tells me that a router doesn't count as a proxy anyway, does it? So that's not what I need?
Any help at all would be massively appreciated.
