Having 2 nics. NicA is outside and setup with DCHP to get from ISP. NicB is internal with usual 192.168.0.x space. All working fine.
Now, after reboot sometimes the dhcp nicA is not configured correct as the /etc/hosts file just gets the 127 loopback. My questions is: How do I correctly configure the /etc/hostname.nicA and /etc/hostname.nicB and what corresponding values in my /etc/hosts ? Currently I had: hostname.nicA mySun hostname.nicB mySun hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost loghost 192.168.0.1 mySun <from ISP> mysun # Added by DHCP Now next time I boot the 192.168.0.1 is removed and second time boot removes the last line only keeping the loopback. I wonder if it has something todo with that the DCPH asks for the hostname and usually gets "unknown" and it does not find "unknown" in my /etc/hosts - but I tried to change that as well and did not help - so what is the correct configuration of those 3 files in case of one using dhcp and the other a static internal IP on same machine _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
