Solaris

Hi .....
My problem is that when i reboot the system i can't connect to the network because my ethernet ( hme0 ) is down , i must up it by ifconfig command

after reboot :

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet x.xxx.xxx.xx netmask ff000000 broadcast x.xxx.xxx.xxx
ether 8:0:20:e8:e0:c2

i must type ifconfig hme0 up all time after reboot , my question is there is a way to setup it aumatically ?

TNKS IN ADVANCE !!!!!!!!

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.
