Hi. I have installed Solaris 8 and I am trying to configure the network settings. For some reason every time I reboot, my card loses its configuration. I can run ifconfig and the only IP address bound to my card (on either interface) is 127.0.0.1. I can change that to a valid IP address on my network and connect to the network, but I cannot access anything outside. I do not know where to tll UNIX my gateway IP address. I guess this is really two questions. Thanks in advance for any help.
