Hello, At work, I have an RS6000 running AIX 5.3. The on-board NIC controller failed. I installed a dual-port Intel Pro 10/100/1000 NIC card. When I start the server, the Intel card isn't recognized. SMIT doesn't see it either. What do I have to do in SMIT so that I can use the card? Thanks, -- -Chuck

Thanks, Define isn't recognized. Do you lspci (pciuitls)? My guess is you don't have a driver. What does dmesg say? Try to look on intel's website for a driver, although you might have to roll your own. I looked quickly on the AIX page but I couldn't find the HCL (Hardware compatibility list). I'd check if your card is on that too.

I am trying to access the use SSH using host names instead of using the raw IP address. I am currently using DCHP to connect to an inexpensive Linksys router and I can see the host names and their IP address when I view the connections list. If the machine name (ie CLYDE) is not the host name, please correct me. Is there some way to extract this information? If so, how? Do I need to run bind to be able to use the host names in place of IP addresses? Any help would be appreciated. -- kstratton@fastmail.us

You could use BIND / isc's dhcp server and have it automatically register your names in dns. That's a bit of overkill though. I think there's a small combination dhcp / dns server that does this automatically although the name escapes me at the moment. The other (and very simple solution that I use) is just to edit /etc/hosts and add ips / dns names. You'll have to update it on each machine and update it if anything changes but if you only need it for one computer it's not too bad. Especially when you consider that before DNS there used to be a hosts file that you'd download so you could find all of the hosts. -- Eric Martin Key fingerprint = D1C4 086E DBB5 C18E 6FDA B215 6A25 7174 A941 3B9F
