Hi there!
I got a beautiful and functional Sun SPARC Classic (very similar to this/). Everything works: HDD, videocard, etc. Even the external DVD driver the seller gave me.
The problem is that the network adapter seems not to work at all. I've tried everything. dhcp, static IP addressing, connecting to my home router, connecting to another Unix machine with a crossover cable, and even the lights of the switch and the machines don't light up. Some Solaris guys on IRC (#solaris @ irc.freenode.net) told me that network autonegotiation may not work with this adapter, but even if I force it to be 10baseT (and the other machine it is connected to) I cannot get them communicate.
I'm almost giving up on making network work on this machine and I'm starting to see if I find a offboard network adapter in ebay.
Any help?
Thanks!
