Solaris and MS Proxy 2.0

[Bento4u]

Hi all,
I have a small network (6 nodes) sitting behind a MS Proxy 2.0 box that is
connected to my ISP through a dial-up PPP connection. All my other boxes
(NT, '98, '95) are able to get out just fine. I just added a Solaris 7x86
box to the mix, set up network addresses and defaulterrouter and it is able
to function just fine on my internal network, but unable to see or ping
anything on the 'net...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
ben

Ben,

MS Proxy isn't router. Clear the defaultrouter file.

You can use Web proxy without any additional configuration (just point the
browser to MSP by its IP address or DNS name if you have internal DNS). You
also can use Socks 4.3-compatible applications on Solaris - you'll have to
add Socks permissions on the MSP manually, because none is defined by
default.

You're welcome with further questions.

I've tried all of those configurations, with no luck. MPS supposedly
provides DNS for the internal network (which works for all my win XX boxes
and even for my Macintosh). However, the solaris box keeps trying to get at
in-addr.arpa for resolution, and MSP will not let it ping through (ICMP
Destination unreachable (Bad port))...

Thanks for the reply and TIA for any additional info...
