ping a Solaris 8 host from a remote PC through VPN client

Hi Experts,
Within the LAN, machines including Windows NT, Linux, HP and Sun Solaris can ping one another with proper logins.

I can VPN in and ping from a remote PC with 192.168.0.* successfuly to all machines with 172.16.173.* except the Solaris 8 hosts. I can also get X11 activities with Linux and HP machines from remote.

Any settings need to be configured and/or services need to be activated for the Solaris machines to respond to the ping and the XDMCP?

Thanks in advance.

Hi neteducation,

I added the defaultrouter file, went through the process and I was able to ftp from the Solaris box to sites outside of the LAN. I have also checked from remote PC to ping within Windows 2000 command prompt and XDMCP to the Solaris box with X-Window servers successfully.

Much thanks.

Hi yuzh,

I have read through http:Q_21353098.html, retrieved and installed the latest version of openssh stuffs from www.sunfreeware.com. Got the following message after invoking /etc/init.d/sshd start; "PRNG is not seeded".

Appreciate any hits, helps you can offer.

Thanks.

Hi neteducation,

I have looked through openssh8.html, retrieved the patches for random varaiable generations, etc. and got the sshd up and running. I have also checked from remote with putty ssh and X-Win32 and it worked well.

Much thanks.

Hi yuzh,

I have also looked through the notes and used as a reference.

Thank you much.
