I personally experienced this problem on my network. There was a Dell server causing Sun Solaris 10 systems to become inaccessible on the network due to the arp confusion. I saw this on any Sun system with Solaris 10 patched with the latest/greatest patches around July/August. It never showed up on any other Solaris version, so this may not be your issue. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
