It should be setting it up automatically if the server was built correctly and no changes were made.
You need to check the following:
1. cat /etc/hostname.hme0
if the contents are a hostname - make sure that hostname is in /etc/hosts with the correct IP
if it is an IP, make sure it's the correct IP
2. cat /etc/netmasks
Look for the netmask for your network - it should be listed. Make sure it's the correct netmask for your network - ask your network admin.
3. Check for /etc/rc2.d for these files
S69inet S72inetsvc - on next reboot and the interface doesn't come up - run these to see if that works on bringing it up. If so, then something is wrong with the timing. If not, then it's something else.
You could also look into doing a sys-unconfig to reconfigure your system.

Dear Reader,
I have a very unique problem. Quite often my on board ethernet port( hme0 ) related message is appearing in /var/adm/messages.
The message is hme0: babble.. The port is up and alive.
What does this message mean.. Is the on board port is about to fail??
Thanks in advance, (2 Replies)
