I have enabled DHCP on the interfaces via "ifconfig e1000g1 auto-dhcp" and created /etc/dhcp.e1000g1-4 as described in various guides I found online. I’m not sure what facility is responsible for launching dhcpagent on bootup (these error messages listed above appeared in the machines dmesg). This machine isn’t running a firewall/packetfilter by the way. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
