The hostname file for your network card would be /etc/hostname.iprb0 and won't exist until you create it. Simply create the file yourself and put your IP address in it on a single line.
(In step 6 of http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml , iprb is the name of the driver, 0 - zero is the NIC_number. Each driver can support more than one network card at a time. These are numbered from zero onwards. If you had a second identical network card, it would be iprb1 and so on). The /etc/hosts file uses the # character to comment out lines - these lines have no effect. So you would change this to read: #Internet host table # 127.0.0.1 localhost x.x.x.x krammer krammer.yourISP.com loghost Where x.x.x.x is the IP address you want to give your system. Not sure why that line is commented out. Can you run the following commands as root: ifconfig -a plumb ifconfig -a then post the output here? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
