WGET Error `http://:8080/’: Invalid host name SOLVED

Some days a go i tried to use wget to download some files from internet, and I alway got the error `http://:8080/': Invalid host name, I read the man page but I couldn’t find anything that help me to solve the problem, then I searched in internet but anything again. So I used Opera to download the files, but I was not quite trying to know the strange behavior of wget but I leaf it in peace.

And now while I was testing a c program which uses extern char **environ I saw environ[10]: http_proxy=http://:8080/, I thought I had the answer to the strange behavior of wget, and I was right.

To solve it do
$ unset http_proxy

And in gnome look at System->preferences->Internet->proxy

Be sure to your proxy is well configured or choose direct connection

Receta de cocina: cliente DHCP en OpenSolaris y/o Solaris 10

Se asume que:

- iwi0 es la interfaz primaria.

- El nombre del nodo es vaio

1. $ sudo hostname -S vaio

2. $ sudo vi /etc/nodename

: edita este archivo de forma que sólo contenga vaio

$ cat /etc/nodename

vaio

3. $ sudo touch /etc/hostame.iwi0
4. $ sudo touch /etc/dhcp.iwi0

5 . $ sudo vi /etc/nsswitch.conf

:edita la linea que continene files, añade dns; quedaría: files dns

6. $ sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf

7. Reiniciar la maquina, o reiniciar servicios de red, o ifconfig iwi0 dhcp, o wificonfig -i iwi0 auto

8. (Opcional) Revisar que /etc/default/dhcpagent tenga RELEASE_ON_SIGTERM=yes. Aunque es preferible configurar estas cuestiones del lado del servidor.
