I've reached the end of the road with configuring the network on opensolaris.
I need to configure interface e1000g0 for either dhcp with transmitting it's hostname to the dhcp server, or for a static IP. I have disabled the nwam service and enabled the default service The GUI network config applet does not work (no interfaces displayed, no "add" button to add an interface), the system does not ask me any questions about network config after a sys-unconfig, so I'm down to doing this manually. According to the documentation I can find, I should need to have /etc/dhcp.e1000g0 and /etc/hostname.e1000g0, and edit /etc/default/dhcpagent to include REQUEST_HOSTNAME=yes. If I create /etc/hostname.e1000g0, I get the following error message: configuring IPv4 interfaces:ifconfig: host.domain.com: bad address e1000g0 If I create /etc/dhcp.e1000g0, I get the following error message: starting DHCP on primary interface e1000g0 ifconfig: e1000g0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP If I run the following manually: "ifconfig e1000g0 plumb" before starting the network/physical:default service, it will bring up the interface, but it does not appear to transmit the hostname to the DHCP server, or it transmits it incorrectly. I'm more than willing to drop down to a static IP configuration, but I cannot find any documentation on how to do that. Quite troubling to me is the fact that the default service does not appear to figure out that it needs to plumb the interface before configuring it. Can anyone help? --Ross -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
