Sorry for being off-topic...

I have already said before that GUI was invented to make life easier for all, including server admins. I would setup static IP address using "System | Administration | Network" menu command in Gnome. And this is actually the way I did it on my server.

So I vote for (stable) Server GUI distribution of OI.

Hi people,


I'm trying to setup OpenIndiana b148 to use static IPv4 address and manually 
set up DNS servers. And I can't even ping my gateway.
The problem is that the only acces to the machine I have is through VNC to the 
QEMU instance it runs in.
Here is the link to screenshots showing what I've done with nwamcfg so far:

I've also:
- checked /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver entries
- ensured "dns" is entered in /etc/nsswitch.conf in appropriate places
- entered appropriate line in /etc/nwam/llp (e1000g0 static xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24)
- checked that my gateway is in /etc/defaultrouter
- tried to set 255.255.255.0 as mask using ifconfig, because ifconfig -a showed 
the mask is set to ff000000


What the hell am I doing wrong? :) Can the problem be somewhere outside the 
system? As I've said. It's a virtual instance running in a VM and I have no way 
to check the VM settings myself.
