Make sure that /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes have the same contents. These sorts of problems (and more) occur when those two files are different. In a future release of Solaris, /etc/inet/ipnodes will be going away and will be just a symlink to the 'hosts' file. (At one point, it was believed that we needed to have separate files for IPv4 and IPv6, which is why this file exists. That turns out not to be the case.) -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
