i have a sun machine that is running solarix 2x,
i want this machine to join my existing window s2k(active directory)domain, so that i can telnet into the sun machine from windows. i changed the ip address from admin tool to reflect my existing network address but i did not specify any subnet cos i did not see any entry for this. when i telnet from the 2k machine, it refuses to connect.
pls kindly help out if there is something im doing wrong or that im not doing . thanks

Edit the networks or netmasks file in the /etc directory with the text editor or vi. Your subnet mask is in there. resolv.conf has the domain & dns server info - may have to create it. Make sure telnet service is allowed.

hi,
i had edited the netmasks file. and i dont think it has nothing to do with the resolv.conf file cause it is not joinning the domain. but just wanted it to exist on the network. its ok now. its a bad network card.

Are you trying to connect as root or another user? If you want to be able to login as root, you will need to modify /etc/default/login and insert a # at the line begining with
CONSOLE=/dev/console

You could also verify these files:
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/netmask
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
