Operating Systems Solaris Configuring TP Ethernet in SPARCstation 5 Solaris 8 Post 302145909 by porter on Thursday 15th of November 2007 05:49:50 PM

A SparcStation 5 has a Lance Ethernet on board, so that should be "le0".

The minimum config is

(a) hostname and IP address in /etc/hosts

(b) nodename in /etc/nodename

(c) hostname in /etc/hostname.le0

(d) masks in /etc/netmasks

Then additionally

(e) default route in /etc/defaultrouter

(f) DNS info in /etc/resolv.conf

(g) appropriate settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf

Try

Code:
ifconfig le0 plumb

or setup all I have mentioned and reboot.

Alternatively run "sys-unconfig"
