Dear People, sorry for my off-topic. I'm suscribed to a Solaris list but it appears to be down, and you know a lot of Solaris, so here I am. At second, thanks to Michael Lim and Peter Bickel who helped me a lot with my cable modem DHCP/IP Filter problems.
I just want to know if I run this command as root: "arp -s <ethernet_address> pub"
it's possible to set manually a MAC Address to my Sun's NIC connected to Internet.
man ifconfig
I want to know this because, in case I still have problem connecting via DHCP (I did not receive any dinamic IP), I can set the public IP assigned succesfully to a Windows machine via DHCP and its corresponding Windows' MAC Address....maybe this can be one last solution.
If you're having trouble negotiating DHCP with a cable modem provider, it may be because the provider is looking for a Windows-specific parameter in the DHCP request. Set up a Windows box and sniff the negotiation, then compare it with what your Solaris box does. You may need to use the ISC DHCP client to be able to set the parameters you need to suit the cable modem DHCP server.
