I just started to play with Solaris 10 x86,
how to setup my DSL connection (PPP over Ethernet)
i have DSL ethernet modem and user name & password.

First I tryed Solaris in wmvare on XP and internet worked automaticli
(NAT), but there is no support for Video over 640x480 so I installed
Solaris on his own partition and booted (but no Internet).

Ja cu ti odgovorit na hrvatskom onoliko koliko mogu.Imam instaliran
Solaris 10,ali za njega ces morati skinut drivere za svoju mreznu.Onda
to probaj instalirat.Ja nazalost imam USB ADSL modem tako da ti ne mogu
sve reci u detalje,ali i mene zanima.

You can find some of the documentation this way:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Adocs.sun.com+pppoe&btnG=Google+Search

In short, what you want to do is:

- add the name of your Ethernet interface to /etc/ppp/pppoe.if

- touch /etc/ppp/options

- create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/myisp with the following
contents (replace "ETHERIF" with the name of your Ethernet
interface, and "USERNAME" with the user name you use with your
ISP):

sppptun
plugin pppoe.so
noauth
noccp
noipdefault
defaultroute
connect "/usr/lib/inet/pppoec ETHERIF"
user USERNAME

- add this to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (with obvious modifications):

USERNAME * "YOUR PASSWORD"

- run "/etc/init.d/pppd start" as root (this will happen at boot
time automatically; you don't need to do this normally).

- you can then invoke your PPP link as an ordinary user like this:

% pppd call myisp

Instructions for debugging and more detailed configuration features
are in the System Administration Guide, and in the man pages for
pppd(1M), pppoec(1M), and sppptun(1M).

Vuka jes li to ti, bas si me zbunio.

Na koncu sam donio DSL router, tako da cu probati tu varijantu,
iako sam u medjuvremenu nasao i upute kako napraviti script za pppoe.

Inace se Siemens I-010 ethernet modem moze konfigurirati da radi u routing
modu, ali kad mogu staviti pravi router neka ga.

No na Solarisu nemam puno iskustva, zadnju verziju koju sam koristio
(testirao) je Solaris 8 (neko vrijeme bio besplatan), a 9 mi nije radila na
proslom kompu.
