Question How do I stop my DHCP ???

Hi,

I have a Sun Enterprise 450 with Unix Solaris 5.8. This was recently reconfigured and it now has a DHCP service running. However I want to give it a fixed IP.

I have added the IP address in '/etc/hosts and have run 'dhcpconfig' and have followed the simple instructions to switch off DHCP there. But it still does not work...

I presume it is calling the DHCP service in a boot script.

Any ideas?

Set up /etc/hostname.xxx (xxx=interface) to either have the hostname or IP. Remove (or move) the /etc/dhcp.xxx (xxx=interface). Insure you set up /etc/defaultrouter (put the IP of your default router in the file). Reboot.

You may have a script starting up dhcp in /etc/rc2.d or rc3.d...move it from S to s.

Post back if you have problems.
