I'm not aware that NWAM and static network config can live happily together. If you're using a static IP address, why do you still need/want NWAM enabled? What is missing from physical:default that nwam gives you?
An alternative is to instruct your DHCP server to always allocate the same IP address. That way, you can leave NWAM to do its thing, and although it's technically DHCP, you get the same address each time, as if it was statically set.
I used to run this config years ago (tying the IP address to the mac address on the server end so that it agreed with DNS), but it's ~10 years since I did this, and it wasn't Sun's DHCP server that I used at the time...

Hello All! This is for my desktop. I want to change default behaviour of DHCP to static IP. I am aware of the steps by using the physical:default instead of NWAM. But, is there a way to set the hostname and static IP using NWAM? I am running the latest internal build. The configuration dialogs are different from what I was using before. So, what is the 'official' way of doing it? Thanks -Siva _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
