Hi Luke, It's difficult to give you any advice because what you're describing is not a typical network failure mode (dhcp succeeds followed by no connectivity), and you really haven't given us any detailed information to work with.
A couple of questions that might provide a lead: What is the output of ifconfig -a once dhcp has assigned an address? Can you see any network traffic if you snoop the interface? For instance, if you attempt to ping the Solaris system from some other system on the same switch. What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf (irrelevant, I know, if you ping IP addresses directly) On the off chance that there is some sort of obscure driver issue at work, you could try running "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci" to get more detailed information regarding what NIC you're using. Finally, just in case you missed it, if you disable NWAM, you need to enable the legacy network service: svc:/network/physical:default, and create the appropriate files under /etc to cause the network device to be configured (hostname.foo, dhcp.foo). -John This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
