IIRC the mac address reversal bug was fixed long ago. b86 that you are running is quite old ( (99 - 86) * 2 ~= 26 weeks ). A fixed version would not require the ifconfig ether hack. Pinging remote hosts is likely a routing or firewall problem. Check your default router (netstat -rn and /etc/defaultrouter) and verify that the route in the reverse direction works. As a tip, I'd suggest that saying "I am not able to ping" is unhelpful. What actually happens? What error do you see, or is it none? Does it take a long time? etc. etc. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise Boyd _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
