[SunHELP] SunPC 1.3

[Simon Rowe x244]

drivers you need to use are often the

SunPCI NDIS driver and the SIS 900 PCI fast ethernet adapter.

It sounds like the sunpci Virtual interface doesn't have a valid IP address. Try 
running

winipcfg

from windows to see what IP address has been assigned. This may be the default 
(and thus invalid) one

also, try just pinging a host from a command prompt to see if you get any 
response.

The unix drives can all map as long as they are all mounted by the unix box the 
sunpci is running from - but they are a lot slower than mapped MS drives.


If all else fails just hook up a network cable to the actual sunpci card and try 
using that.

Big word of advice - get rid of these sunpci cards. Buy a low spec PC and you'll 
save yourself days/weeks of aggro.

 Friday a user was OK with his Win98 on SunPC 1.2.2. Sunday night we had a
 power failure. Monday, user comes in and gets "No domain server available to
 verify password" error. Did a ping to the PDC from Solaris and it sees the PDC
 just fine. Can't do a ping from SunPC.
 
 I thought it may be remotely possible that something got corrupted with the
 power failure so I removed his old emulated C: drive and all applications. I
 removed SunPC 1.2.2 and installed 1.3. I then copied (from another users
 machine) a "new" C: drive and apps. so everything is "new".
 
 Still get the "No Domain...." error. Now, this is an old SunPC card with no
 hardware NIC - so I assume I'm using the virtual NIC built in to SunPC
 software. So, the question is, even though SunPC 1.3 uses a virtual NIC is
 there some component on the SunPC card that could have gotten nuked when the
 power failure hit? It seems like the card is the only thing I haven't replaced
 but how would that matter with a virtual NIC?
 
 What is also odd is that I can "map" local Unix file systems as network drives
 just fine - I just can't get outside of the box with SunPC...
