Backup and delete /etc/hostname.nf0, and /etc/defaultrouter. If you want 'solarisX' as your hostname then: echo "solarisX" > /etc/nodename then to get all configuration through DHCP, run: touch /etc/dhcp.nf0 Then reboot. NOTE: your nf0 interface needs to work (you need the driver installed,) which you have right now, but on a feresh install, you'd need to do the driver install again first. -Kyle
