The problem after that was a little more bizarre - "ping -s $HOST" would delay for 10 or so seconds and then spray a group of results on the screen at once. Trying to ssh to other machines on my network would timeout - running ssh in max-debug mode (ie. 'ssh -v -v -v') indicated that it got up to a certain point and then no further. I could even see output in the logs on the other machines (that I was trying to ssh to) showing an initial connection from the Nexenta machine, but nothing beyond that. And similarly, apt-get/aptitude update would just timeout. I eventually guessworked my way to thinking that it might be the same problem described in this OpenSolaris bug: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6717107 This suggested a workaround as follow: > Add > set ip:dohwcksum = 0 > to /etc/system. > > Or run this command as root: > echo 'ip`dohwcksum/w 0' | mdb -kw ...which worked. Well, worked in the sense that I now appear to have a functioning network :-). I gathered from some of the places referencing this bug that disabling hardware-checksumming is probably not a good long-term solution, but I'm quite happy to settle for a short-term solution at the moment. The bug report indicates it was fixed in snv_99, which I presume is not part of the current Nexenta2 beta release (but hopefully will be at some point in the future :)). Thanks again for the help.
