hi everyone.

As a solaris/unix beginner, I am trying a peer-to-peer connection with my Sun and Windows.

Here is my setup:
-Windows XP
-Sun System (Netra T1) which is connected to the console of the WinXP machine.
-Windows XP has wireless connection which enables me to access internet
and a LAN card where I connected my SUN system thru crossover connection.

-I had tried to set a static ip address on my sun system using
/usr/sbin/ifconfig eri0 192.168.2.160 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.1
--from what i understand, the broadcast is the default gateway of my wireless connection in windows xp.. please correct me if im wrong.

--i tried to ping the two systems, but i am not able to communicate.
--also, i tried to use sys-unconfig to reconfigure the network but it just hang-up after the last process wherein, it only shows an error:

svc.startd [7]: svc:/network/nis/client:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/yp" failed with exit status 96

any insights? or maybe i am not configuring my solaris system properly.
thanks a lot..
