The one I tried is B101 (SXCE). I think I have seen this behavior with older builds also.

In my case, I have a DHCP server running on my router, so this is used to provide the machine's IP address, which I have rigged to provide the same IP address, based on recognition of the NIC's MAC address. On a much older SXCE (snv_b87), the installer used to ask for the machine's host name, so with the machine setup to use DHCP, and with the host name configured during installation, everything worked well. Simon 2008/11/24 Sumit Gupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I tried the same recently but then it started asking about the DNS server's address. With DHCP, that address actually comes from DHCP server and it seems there is no way to avoid that step in the installation process if you choose the naming service to be DNS.

Checking back to my first post, I did say that it was 'nevada build 101', which is SXCE. Am I right in saying that the Indiana project is what is referred to as OpenSolaris 2008.05 (and soon to be 2008.11) ? Indeed, I mistook the install question regarding DNS to mean 'Do you wish to setup a DNS server?', which I didn't, so I selected 'None'. I will know not to do that next time if I remember ;-) Thanks for your help James.
