Hi , Could be NWAM thats misbehaving I suppose.
If you get this result: # svcs -a | grep physical online 18:36:40 svc:/network/physical:nwam disabled 18:36:43 svc:/network/physical:default # do : # svcadm disable network/physical:nwam # svcadm enable network/physical:default then you should see: # svcs -a | grep physical disabled 18:36:40 svc:/network/physical:nwam online 18:36:43 svc:/network/physical:default # Now the interface is back in the traditional ( manual ) mode and there is no daemon thats trying to start and stop it. Now you should be able to do : # ifconfig /dev/nge0 down # ifconfig /dev/nge0 unplumb To clear the NIC down first. Then useing a valide IP adress/netmask/broadcast triplet that works for you do : # ifconfig /dev/nge0 plumb # ifconfig /dev/nge0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.254 up If # ifconfig -a Then shows that the NIC is Up and stable you probably have a working NIC. If so you can now configure the files /etc/hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/resolv.conf ( may need to be created ) /etc/hostname.nge0 ( may need to be created ) /etc/defaultrouter ( needs to be created ) /etc/netmasks And delete /etc/dhcp.nge0 if it exists All these files are dokumented in section 4 of the manual # man -s 4 netmasks And that should be it This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
