Thanks for this. I will look up DHCP and have a go tomorrow. However, in my case I have a static IP address assigned by my ISP i.e. 214.159.X.Y and my router also has a single IP address which is 192.168.0.1.
I am also not confident that I actually have any drivers for the ethernet connection. I have an ASUS A7N8XE which includes a Marvel l 88E8001 Gigabit LAN. I have booted with the b -r option, according to a posting I found on the web should reconfigure the OS and add new devices. When I do a prtconf, I cant see anything that looks like a network driver (but I'm a newbie, so could easily be wrong) .
Any further ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks again,
Chris.

bootparamd
BOOTPARAMD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPARAMD(8)
NAME
bootparamd -- boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-r router] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The bootparamd utility is a server process that provides information to diskless(8) clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the /etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by
the booting client will be the name that appears in /etc/bootparams and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short
enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames will not fail during boot.
OPTIONS
-d Display the debugging information.
-s Log the debugging information with syslog(3).
-r router The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server.
-f file The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
FILES
/etc/bootparams default boot parameter file
EXAMPLES
When netbooting diskless SunOS/Xkernel SPARCstations the booted SunOS kernel also broadcasts to the all-0 address. The SunOS kernel hangs
until it receives a reply. To accommodate this behaviour add an alias address that responds to an all-0 broadcast. So, add something like
'ifconfig xl0 192.168.200.254 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.200.0 alias' on the relevant network interface on your bootparamd
server. The alias address must of course be free for use.
