more solaris questions
We may be having the same issue.....more details...
I'm attmpting to attach this box through a cable modem receiving DHCP addresses. The ifconfig command only returns a single interface lo0, with the loopback line mentioned above. Using webstart3.0 doesn't get networking done properly. I'm assuming that since I can only resolve the loopback interface that I need to initialize the ethernet card via a command line? I'm also not sure I've been able to resolve the MAC address correctly, is there a command line query for the MAC address?
Sun Docs are no help at all so far.
Thanks in advance
