Hi all,
Something weird is happening with network on solaris ,on my box!!!
Apparently when the modem is turned on sometimes the DHCP kicks into action and finds out an Ip ,then i am able to use the net .
However if the modem is turned on a bit late(during the boot) or if i turn it on after the desktop comes up i am unable to get an IP and consequently not able to surf the net..

Now i understand that the modem takes time to initialize ,until which time i cannot get the network setup...
But how do i counter this?
Suppose i turn on the modem after the desktop comes up, then
do a ifconfig -a,

inet:0.0.0.0,
this is the listing of my interface!!!
Now how do i get it up and running on the fly?

i tried ifconfig nge0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up (the IP is what i will by default be set to if DHCP kicks in during the boot, so i just give that only as my ip)
but still when i do an ifconfig -a after this, i wont get an IP...

can you pls assist?

PS : suppose i swap from win XP to solaris (keeping modem on all the while, through the reboot process) then i get an ip and everything is fine!!!

Thanks!
