auswipe ,i use cable provided by cable modem company , which is crossover,
when system boots , i get following msgs or errors...
1.configuring network intefaces : le0
2.starting DHCP on primary:le0
(at this moment LED on cable modem for connection to ethernet on sparc , dosent light)
le0 cable disconected..(this comes only once)
(now LED showing sparc to ethernet connection goes on)
ifconfig timed out
....all msgs for starting..
in.rdisc: no interfaces up
setting default interfaces for multicast 224.0.0.0...
in.dhpcd
bad file number: no interfaces up....
and then i log on to root , on CDE.
after loging in , i check ifconfig -a , it shows
both adapters , la0 (local loopback), and le0 but it shows le0 BROADCAST, RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP...it is not up(even though i set the ifconfig with earlier and did like ifconfig le0 broadcast +).and inet0.0.0.0 netmask 0 , ether hex address.
netstat -rn shows:
127.0.0.1 as destination ,127.0.0.1 as Gateway ,with UH Flags.it does not list le0 at all.
so i do , ifconfig le0 x.x.x.x ( IP Address of my machine i had set in /etc/hosts) up
than i get it up in ifconfig -a , and also arp -a shows some i.p. adresess of my cable provider,and le0 with x.x.x.x , Mask ff.ff.ff.ff. flags SP and physical address ,and le0 with multicast address(224.0.0.0) and mask 240.0.0.0.
but when i try to browse i get host unreachable or not found...
i hope you people can help me here , is it my ethernet interface speed (10mbps) which is problem.
thanx in advance...
