Ironically having created this thread just now I have solved the problem. I hate to say it - as I am sure you probably hear this a lot as an excuse - but it is due to poor documentation. I have read in several places that the file /etc/netmasks needs to have the simple format of a single line entry with the subnet mask on, i.e.
255.255.255.0 I found that this was not the case on my network. I had to specify the network then the subnet mask with a space in between them like this: 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 I then restarted the network services and everything worked as intended WITHOUT using nwam. So this is using physical/network:default I am now going to try a reboot to see if it stays persistant. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
