Thanks
Thanks for your quick replies,problem got solved.
DukeNuke2---I tried setting autonegotiation off on both sides but that didn't helped.
System Shock--I downloaded driver from broadcom site for Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver and installed it. During installation it gave an error of "installed but failed to attach driver.."
I changed the hostname.bge0 to hostname.bcme0 and rebooted the system.
All things went up fine after reboot.
Note: bge0 is driver from SUN and bcme0 is driver from broadcom so if for anyone SUN's driver is not working for Broadcom card download it from Broadcom site.
Thanks again.
