If your Sun Blade 2000 use fix IP then follow the instruction in the following page to set it
up:
http:Q_20873468.html

If you want to set it up as a DHCP client, then have a look at the instructions in:
http:Q_21013340.html

also have a look at this "Connecting to Any ISP with Solaris 7 and Solaris 8" (should work for Solaris 9 as well):

Hi,
When I was setting up the network connection with the sys-unconfig

there was some error

And now it says

Warning : Timed out waiting for NIS to come up.

So can anyone tell me how to get over it and then login and so that i can run sys-unconfig again and setup

One more question: how do I change the hostname?

If you are not using NIS, please make sure that your /etc/nsswitch.conf doesn't have
nis in the file.

boot up the box to single user mode
boot -s

then
cd /etc
cp -p /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf.old
cp /etc/ nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

So please make sure 2 things:
1. Do you have DHCP server? (ipconfig /all on Windows will tell you)
2. Do you have NIS server? If yes, the NIS server is in the same subnet or not?
If not, then you need to know the IP address of NIS server to config your NIS client.

My assumption for you is
1. Yes
2. No.
(please correct me if my assumption is wrong.)

>Warning : Timed out waiting for NIS to come up.
Press "Stop + A" (hold "Stop" key and press "A" key at the same type)
You will get "ok" prompt.
Type in
boot -s
it will reboot into single user mode.

Login as root and type
sys-unconfig
to restart again.
Or do yuzh's suggestion.

Regards,

Wesly
