My version is 6.5.5

and I was reviewing and does not say how to connect to the internet the site ensures that you are connected to the internet, then, how can I connect to the internet?

Oh, also check this one https://software.majix.org/irix/network-setup.shtml , I followed that in my 6.5.29 install. I had to add the "$ROUTE $QUIET add -net default 130.60.XX.1" to /etc/config/static-route.options I think. Also useful: https://wiki.preterhuman.net/IRIX_Instal...he_network

do you have a router? are you doing static IP? Lets start there and assume you are.

Under System manager you can set up your network, lets just for giggles says your home router's IP is 192.168.1.1, lets say you set up your SGI's IP to be 192.168.1.10 (also about the netmask -> 0xffffff00 == 255.255.255.0 == ff.ff.ff.0)

Your first step would be to see if you can ping your router:

ping 192.168.1.1

if that works, try to ping something outside your network, like googles public DNS:

ping 8.8.8.8

Let us know if you got this far
