Hello Jan, I have to thank you. Yes, I didn't read the flagday message, because I had that ARP problem (and ignored pretty much everything else in life). For nothing, as it turned out, b111 .... Ok, thank you for the flagday pointer. Next I must read that. Although: In this case the problem I described a few hours ago only happens, where off-media /platform/sun4u/wanboot is used. The Blade 100 with OBP 4.17.1 (when booted via boot net:dhcp) is theonly of my machines which has a new enough OBP to boot AI without off-media-/platform/sun4u/wanboot. And presumably it is no coincidence, that she is the only one, which does not have the dhcpagent -a problem. So it seems, not the type of NIC was the reason, but indeed the boot method. I tested U30, U60, SB100 with 4.17.1, SB150 (=100) without 4.17.1, now comes the Blade 2000 and then the SF280R. On a side note: I found that the Blade 100 which does have OBP 4.17.1 (the other does not, for comparison reasons) CANNOT boot into off-media wanboot. I mean, why should it. It's not needed. But at least interesting to witness. If somebody is interested, I stand up and connect a serial console to that box ... Regards, %martin
