@gull04......thanks for the reply
I've certainly tried the "sysconfig configure" to reset the network parameters a few times to no avail.
I reckon it's something to do (but not exclusively) with when a dhcp server goes awol and comes back eg, a crash or reboot that Solaris 11.3 has no warning about.
Also, rebooting Solaris 11.3 can give a NoNet on random occasions. I know there's a difference between a host shutting down and releasing its ip address lease, and just going down without telling the dhcp server. Unfortunately I'm not an expert in this stuff (yet) but this is sure making me learn.
Any member on here know this in enough detail to point me in the right direction?
Repeat, I'm finding this Solaris 11.3 issue really weird when Solaris 11.1 doesn't exhibit this issue at all. I can't figure out what's going on.

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)
