ASKER
I have tons of files on these systems that I need to access by using telnet, ping or humingbird
Have you setup your Solaris box in your network?
What type of Solaris box do you have, Sparc or x86 pc?
You need to know your network info before you can start, eg.
give your Solaris box a valid IP, netmasks, router IP, DNS server
infor etc.
You can run "sys-unconfig " to unconfig the box, then reboot and fill in all the network infor to make your Solaris box accesable in your netwok.
once you get your Solaris box on the network, you can setup your PCs to the network, and use telnet or exceed (humingbird)
to access to the box.
To transfer file you need to use FTP/secure FTP.
BTW, it is not a good idea to use telnet to access to the box, plain text password (insecure!), consider install secure shell to your Solaris box and use secure shell to login to the box. (it also comes with sftp).
You can download openssh from:
