The system does that all on its own. The DHCP client will attempt to get a lease continuously. There's no "failed" state where we just give up. > For example, i have an ip of 0.0.0.0 without a cable plugged in, I plug an > Ethernet cable and it remains at 0.0.0.0.

It sounds like the interface itself isn't working. Some of the troubleshooting techniques on the NWAM web page might be helpful, but I'd say that the first things to check are the output of "ifconfig" (does it say DHCP is running?) and either snoop or wireshark. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carl...@sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
